In an earlier post, I discussed compiling java programs for CICS using a batch job. Unfortunately, starting with CICS TS 5.1 (or in CICS TS 4.2 using a JVM Server), this no longer works. CICS TS 5.1 did away with the JVM Pool structure and any java applications you have need to be repackaged in… Read More »
The MH05 SupportPac reads or browses the MQ EVENT queues, formats and prints the messages and, optionally, emails them. The SupportPac information is here: MH05 There aren’t good instructions included on how to run this on z/OS, although it is supported. This is what I did: Put these files into a directory. com.ibm.xmq.events-1.6.jar javax.mail.jar mail.config… Read More »
You might want to use JCL to compile java programs for your CICS environment. Probably, you already have standard procedures for compiling other language types. Java source programs compile into class files which must be in the Unix file system instead in load libraries. So, just as you would have separate libraries for separate development… Read More »
This is a application development pattern sample demonstrating how a batch COBOL program might consume a Web Service by invoking methods on java objects. This procedure might be an alternative to the often used design pattern which is to code the batch COBOL program to call a CICS program using EXCI and the CICS program… Read More »
