How to configure MQseries with CICS MRO

[giora]

I would like to configure MQ with cics application in a way that the MQseries will be connected to one cics and will trigger my application in another cics using MRO.

Any one can suggest how to configure this connection?

I can't see that you need anything other than a remote TRANSACTION definition in your MQ region pointing to the application transaction in the other region (assuming the regions already have a MRO connection between them - if not you need a CONNECTION and SESSION definition for this).

Look at the CICS resource defn guide if you need info on these definitions.

You have to have your AOR regions connected to an MQSereis Queue Manager. Remember the CICS region connects to a queue manager and not applications (CICS transactions). This means that if you have your transactions routed to a CICS region that is not connected to the queue manager that owns this queue (if a shared queue is used, then any queue manager that has access to it), your application would try to do a MQOPEN and it would fail because your CICS region is not set up to connect to a queue manager.

If you set up your CICS regions (TOR and AORs) to all connect to the same queue manager, then when you allow your CICS transaction to be routed to one of these other CICS regions connected to the same queue manager, the transactions would be successful.

Although, if you allow your CICS transactions to route across an LPAR and your other CICS regions on this other LPAR connect to a different queue manager (with non shared queues), the queue that the application will try to open will no be able to read from the queue on the other queue manager.

Hope this helps.
