I need to kick of a cics transaction from a trigger queue in MQ. Can any one throw some light on this ?

Thanks,

You need a couple of things to be setup for this Mr MVS.

Firstly, you need access to the trigger monitor transaction CKTI. This must be started with the initiation Q that can be shared with the local Q with a trigger active set. In the process definition, you can specify the transaction name that you want to fire when you drop a message in the trigger queue.

Let us know if you want more information on this.

Just to add on you can trigger the transaction for
1. first
2. every
3. or for a particular depth of the queue

Brian, Can we have the same iniatiation q for all the cics regions, if there are more than one. And all the cics are attached to one Q manager?

Tomehta,
My MQ admin says that having a single init Q for all CICS region is the good as he can start / stop the Q in the online region with a single command and that the maintenance is easy.

Maintenance however is relative.
