Editing the Customization Input File (mqsicompcif) for a broker

This is part of the larger task of creating a broker on z/OS.

Before you start

Before starting this step, you must have completed Creating the broker runtime environment on z/OS.

In the previous step mqsicreatebroker copied the mqsicompcif file to the root directory of your broker. Edit mqsicompcif and update the keys to match your environment. Use a command like the following to edit the file:
cd /var/wmqi/MQP1BRK
oedit mqsicompcif
Use the information that you supplied in the Customization Input File checklist, which is found at Customization planning checklist for z/OS, to complete this file. Refer to Example Customization Input File (mqsicompcif) for an example mqsicompcif file.

Ensure that the single quotes (' ') are included.

All environment variables need to be made explicit in mqscompcif. For example, do not use $JAVAHOME; explicitly write the full path of the Java home directory. This is because ENVFILE is parsed by BPXBATCH before the shell environment for the started task has been created, and BPXBATCH does not recognize the use of $ to indicate environment variables
