Before you start QMF

1. Complete all the installation and customization steps outlined in this book.
2. Start the database connection, if not already started.
3. Verify that the QMF Trace Facility is installed by checking the transient data queue (DSQD). From a clear CICS screen, enter:

   CEMT INQUIRE QUEUE(DSQD)

   You should see a screen similar to this:

       STATUS:    RESULTS   - OVERTYPE to MODIFY
        Que(DSQD)                  Ext Ena Ope
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

   Ena Ope indicates that the queue is open and enabled. If you do not see that DSQD is enabled and open, you need to review your modifications to the CICS DCT. Verify that the QMF trace file was installed correctly. See Step 22--Update CICS control tables (CICS version 3 or later) for details.
