One thing I would like to see, is something similar to DSPMQ but for WMQI. MQSILIST does not quite give me what I would like to see. Is the Broker active type of tool.

Re: Wish list for Conference
Well, of course, some of us won't get to go to the conference :-( so I guess the choice is to put 'em here. Here's a list I came up with... 1) I'd like to strongly second an earlier wish to have Java clients support channel tables. I need this and I need it badly. 2) Also a Java thing. First, understand I'm not a Java programmer, but the impression I've gotten from reading others' postings (and I may be wrong here) is that if you're using the Java client, you must specify the userid and that Java won't pick up the userid from the task issuing the MQ calls. OK, if it's possible within the constructs and constraints of the language, please make a change so that the userid is picked up from the task's userid automatically, similar to the situation with the regular C client on an NT box. 3) I think many of us have seen the problem of not being able to start a channel when there are duplicates in the channel SYNCQ. The fix is to get a utility from IBM (CSQ4SYNC on OS/390 and I'd guess there's something similar on the distributed qmgrs). It would be nice if that utility were distributed as part of the product. And, after all, what harm is there? If it's not the problem and there are no duplicates, nothing will be deleted. 4) Sure would be nice to be able to easily restart the CICS trigger monitor and end up with the address space userid, the same as you get when it's started from the PLT. 5) It seems that people are often asking from help with shutdowns. How about sample startup and shutdown scripts for the distributed environments? At least it would get people started. 6) Based on an (unpleasant) experience where a Solaris sysadmin installed MQ on a server for me and then we couldn't get crtmqm to work after putting on the latest CSD... How about removing the part of the install script that allows you to loop back and select another option to install? Or at least a warning that if you do that, trouble will ensue. And, if possible, how about listing out interpreted CLASSES when you do a pkginfo? (Can you do that? I don't know.) I learned more than an OS/390 person should ever need to know about Solaris install scripts and packages as a result of this simple (and very human) error. 7) Now here's one that I don't really expect anyone from IBM to take seriously, but I'm putting here anyway: How about some doc on setting up MQ mainframe security in a nonRACF environment? This is actually a concern with a multitude of IBM products for those of us in ACF2 shops (and, I would guess, other security packages, too). There's always a lot of well, let's try this and see what happens. It's messy and error-prone. Actually, this would be a good collaborative project for those of us in this situation.

Sure would be nice to be able to easily restart the CICS trigger monitor
and end up with the address space userid, the same as you get when it's
started from the PLT.
Doesn't seem like much of a stretch to write a small program to accomplish that.
Something like:
EXEC CICS ASSIGN STARTCODE(MYSTART) END EXEC
IF MYSTART NOT EQUAL SD
MOVE 'CKQC STARTCKTI' TO mydata (or build CKQC commarea from input
source)
EXEC CICS START(EIBTRNID) FROM (mydata ) USERID(myuserid) END-EXEC
EXEC CICS RETURN END-EXEC
END IF
EXEC CICS RETRIEVE INTO(mydata) END EXEC
EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM('CSQCSSQ ') INPUTMSG(mydata)
EXEC CICS RETURN END-EXEC

Re: Wish list for Conference
Just an idea...I don't have it working. I thought IBM lifted the restriction on termid
in CICS V3 or V4. I know you have to setup surrogate authorities differently if there
is no termid, but I didn't think it was a show stopper.

Thanks, Dennis. Actually, I think I played around with this and finally gave
up. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. As I remember (and it's hazy
since it was a long while back), the problem was that there's no terminal
facility to tie the userid to. But thanks for suggesting it. (Or did you

Re: Wish list for Conference
Hey I do hold IBM'ers in a GOD-ly fashion. BUT like GOD, who made me as an example, do have their obvious faults. Unless you come anywhere near my age I have had 29 years of GOOD solid BIG BLUE relationship experience behind me. .Just because I don't wear white shirts over my colored shirts doesn't mean I am not used to the IBM GRIM Fary Tales. Don't get me wrong. Both my houses, three of my cars, my 18 children, 4 wives and my private stash of CUBAN cigars are all attributed to IBM. Did I mention the 3 dogs So if not indentured, I am thankful for IBM. BUT.growing up on the streets of Greenpoint Brooklyn during a somewhat nasty period in New York history I have learned to become a realist from exposure. My point is that no one company is perfect and IBM, while the love of my life, certainly fits in with the trying rest. Sorry to burst your bubble but hey life is hard after your 18th birthday. As for the super bowl the only thing I can look forward to is the Super Bowl feast as the Gang Green fell to the nasty, if mot mighty Raiders. At least my girlfriend. Did I mention her in my list?? Shania Twain will be doing the halftime show. And the IBM commercials, as always, will be good EveryoneSorry for the long giberish but it's late, Friday and have been SCRIPTING and CRONNING all DAY..ENJOY THE GAME and the weekend. CHEERS!!!

Re: Wish list for Conference
Paul, I already knew about the formal process but this thread was just so therapeutic I couldn't resist! Plus, it was fun just to see what everyone else brought up. And if there is a god at IBM who watches over the enhancements process, then my prayer is: IBM grant me... The serenity to accept the WMQ enhancements I cannot have, The courage to submit the ones that have a snowball's chance, And a consultant to tell me the difference. -- T.Rob -Original Message- From: Paul Clarke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 12:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Wish list for Conference Yes.

Re: Wish list for Conference
1. the new, eclipse-based GUI for MQSI. I hope this will contents almost my (and Peter's) wishes. 2. a new concept in user management of UserNameServer - own users instead opsys users. But I think this is coming from MQ object authority handling, so it seems only a pipedream 3. a straight declaration about the future of MQ on Alpha platform (DEC / Compaq / HP Tru64 Unix) Tibor I wish. 1.) The OTMA Bridge would honor the Request message's Expiry when it builds the Reply message. 2.) There was a property on the MQInput node where you could specify the minimum size MQSI would make the message buffer. MQSI could increase the size above this value if it had to, but it would never drop below the user specified minimum. 3.) A second pair of Reply2Queue / Reply2QueueManager fields in the MQMD. This would allow me to have my replies come to queue1 and my report messages go to queue2. This would also allow me to stick MQSI in between 2 apps and still have all the apps simply reply to the reply 2 info. Currently, MQSI has to strip the original reply2info, replace it with its own, and then replace the original again on the way back. In the meantime, it has to store the original reply info in a database. (Adding this info in a message header or relying on a queue instead of a database have their own issues) 4.) A super remote queue def. Currently, a remote queue def has only 1 destination Q / QM / XMIT queue associated with it. There is no way to administratively have your app start putting to 2 or more queues on the fly. You have to either change the app to do multiple puts, change the app to use a dist list, or insert MQSI and have it split the message. A super-remote-queue-def would allow us to add 1 or more queue / queue manager / xmits to the original def. Instantly, you can fan your message out to other queues (additional destinations, a logging queue, etc). 5.)For the WMQI editor, it would be nice to not only have a search function but something that will match up your IF/ELSE/END IF's and WHILE/END CASE/ENDS, etc. I used to work with FOXPRO and it had this feature where it would do this so you could see if they were mismatched or missing. It would be even more helpful now that we have combined the majority of our code in one flow into one compute node and we now have over 4000 lines of code. 6.)One of the WMQI developers here was saying they would like the ability to check, IF field NUMERIC. Today we have to go through byte for byte and check for '0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'. 7.)Someone also brought up DATE FUNCTIONS, such as GREG to JUL and back for WMQI. 8.)QPASA figured out how to give GUI capability to mainframe, why not MQExplorer. Also, MQJExplorer by Neil Kolban is great in that it doesn't require a local QM. 9.) (This may be unpopular) : Make the MQ certifications more relevant by requiring periodic retesting. 10.) Channel Tables for JAVA clients.

Re: Wish list for Conference
Yes I'm sure you are right. There is no MQ users group in my area. I don't know if every MQ user group is active, and if so, is actively tracking, prioritizing and forwarding such requests to IBM. There is another product I was associated with that had regional user groups and a national user group, which collected both regional group requests and individual requests, and put them together, prioritized them and forwarded them. The vendor of that product paid more attention to requests coming from a group that represented over 100 companies/customers, vs a regional group that might represent 10 or 20. That national group has a good rapport with the vendor and was able to present the requests to the product development management, and even had a representative participate in product development planning sessions. Perhaps the mechanisms that IBM has are good, without too many levels between the customer and the development management. I seem to remember getting feedback from IBM on a request I had a couple of years ago. I personally would feel better if I knew where I stood with everyone else (other customers) in terms of the importance or usefulness of a request I made. I also like to see other people's requests, because they usually are thinking of things I never have, and/or get me thinking of using MQ in a new and better way. Also, often I just accept the product's behavior without questioning it's implementation, while others with more experience realize that there is a deficiency. Sorry for the long response.. I just see so many of the 'wouldn't it be nice..' emails go by in the last few years and I know the conference is coming up (and IBM makes such a big deal out of the Wed afternoon session, and of course, I wouldn't miss that one for the world!).

Re: Wish list for Conference
Make WMQ for z/os to use z/os logstream instead of its own log data set. CTS did it why not MQ. Warren Robert Broderick [EMAIL PROTECTED]@AKH-WIEN.AC.AT on 01/22/2003 11:28:23 AM Please respond to MQSeries List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by:MQSeries List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: Wish list for Conference Seems like we need to hod a conference and have IBM pay us to attend. They would get some good information from us in return!! bee-oh-dubble-bee-dubble-eegghh From: Potkay, Peter M (PLC, IT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: MQSeries List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Wish list for Conference Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 13:26:52 -0500 I wish. 1.) The OTMA Bridge would honor the Request message's Expiry when it builds the Reply message. 2.) There was a property on the MQInput node where you could specify the minimum size MQSI would make the message buffer. MQSI could increase the size above this value if it had to, but it would never drop below the user specified minimum. 3.) A second pair of Reply2Queue / Reply2QueueManager fields in the MQMD. This would allow me to have my replies come to queue1 and my report messages go to queue2. This would also allow me to stick MQSI in between 2 apps and still have all the apps simply reply to the reply 2 info. Currently, MQSI has to strip the original reply2info, replace it with its own, and then replace the original again on the way back. In the meantime, it has to store the original reply info in a database. (Adding this info in a message header or relying on a queue instead of a database have their own issues) 4.) A super remote queue def. Currently, a remote queue def has only 1 destination Q / QM / XMIT queue associated with it. There is no way to administratively have your app start putting to 2 or more queues on the fly. You have to either change the app to do multiple puts, change the app to use a dist list, or insert MQSI and have it split the message. A super-remote-queue-def would allow us to add 1 or more queue / queue manager / xmits to the original def. Instantly, you can fan your message out to other queues (additional destinations, a logging queue, etc). 5.)For the WMQI editor, it would be nice to not only have a search function but something that will match up your IF/ELSE/END IF's and WHILE/END CASE/ENDS, etc. I used to work with FOXPRO and it had this feature where it would do this so you could see if they were mismatched or missing. It would be even more helpful now that we have combined the majority of our code in one flow into one compute node and we now have over 4000 lines of code. 6.)One of the WMQI developers here was saying they would like the ability to check, IF field NUMERIC. Today we have to go through byte for byte and check for '0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'. 7.)Someone also brought up DATE FUNCTIONS, such as GREG to JUL and back for WMQI. 8.)QPASA figured out how to give GUI capability to mainframe, why not MQExplorer. Also, MQJExplorer by Neil Kolban is great in that it doesn't require a local QM. 9.) (This may be unpopular) : Make the MQ certifications more relevant by requiring periodic retesting. 10.) Channel Tables for JAVA clients.

Re: Wish list for Conference
In line with the wish for explorer to display MVS queue managers. I wish MVS (ISPF mq menus) could be used to show distributed queue managers. That way we would not have to jump between platforms to look at MQ information.
