To be able to connect to a queue manager, the environment of an application
program must be correctly defined:
- The PARAM MQDEFAULTPREFIX is mandatory in the environment of all
applications.
- If you have chosen an alternative (nondefault) location for your MQSINI
file, an application will not be able to connect to the queue manager if the
PARAM MQMACHINIFILE is not set correctly.
- TAL and COBOL applications must have the PARAM SAVE-ENVIRONMENT ON defined
in their environment, or they will not be able to connect to the queue
manager.
- An application may run as either low-pin or high-pin. MQSeries for
Compaq NonStop Kernel executables themselves are configured to run as
high-pin.
- MQSeries for Compaq NonStop Kernel applications are supported in both the
Guardian and OSS environments.
- An application using MQSeries for Compaq NonStop Kernel can run under
PATHWAY, from TACL, or as a child process of another process.
Applications can even be added to the queue manager PATHWAY configuration
itself, provided they behave correctly on queue manager shutdown.
