Creating your own service component

To create your own service component:

• For all platforms, ensure that the header file cmqzc.h is included in your program.
• For UNIX systems: Create the shared library by compiling the program and linking it with the shared libraries libmqm* and libmqmzf*. (The threading suffixes and file extensions vary by platform.)

  Note:

  Because the agent can run in a threaded environment, you must build the OAM and Name Service to run in a threaded environment. This includes using the threaded versions of libmqm and libmqmzf.

• For Windows: Create a DLL by compiling the program, and linking it with the libraries MQM.LIB and MQMZF.LIB.

  See the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Guide for details of how to compile and link code for shared libraries.

• Add stanzas to the queue manager configuration file to define the service to the queue manager and to specify the location of the module. Refer to the individual chapters for each service, for more information.
• Stop and restart the queue manager to activate the component.
