WebSphere MQ for z/OS publications
The WebSphere MQ for z/OS library includes books specific to the z/OS platform:
GC34-6051, describes the concepts of WebSphere MQ for z/OS and tells you how to plan your WebSphere MQ for z/OS systems.
SC34-6052, tells you how to customize WebSphere MQ for z/OS after you have installed it. It also tells you how to monitor system use and performance, and how to set up security.
SC34-6053, tells you how to operate WebSphere MQ for z/OS using commands, panels, and utilities, and how to write applications to administer WebSphere MQ for z/OS . The latter part of the book deals with termination, recovery, and restart.
GC34-6054, will help you to determine the causes of WebSphere MQ for z/OS problems, resolve those problems, deal with the IBM support center, and handle APARs.
GC34-6056, lists all the user messages and abend reason codes returned by WebSphere MQ for z/OS , with explanations and suggested responses. It is designed for use as a quick reference, and is linked with the WebSphere MQ for z/OS Problem Determination Guide, which you should also consult if a message indicates that there is a WebSphere MQ for z/OS problem.
WebSphere MQ family publications
The WebSphere MQ library includes family books that apply to all WebSphere MQ products, including WebSphere MQ for z/OS:
SC34-6055, describes the MQSC commands, used by system operators and administrators to manage queue managers. It introduces the commands and tells you how to use them, before describing the commands in detail, in alphabetic order.
SC34-6059, describes intercommunication between WebSphere MQ products. It introduces the concepts of intercommunication (transmission queues, message channel agent programs, and communication links) that are brought together to form message channels. It describes how geographically-separated queue managers are linked together by message channels to form a network of queue managers. It discusses the distributed-queuing management (DQM) facility of WebSphere MQ, which provides the services that enable applications to communicate using queue managers.
SC34-6062, introduces the concepts of messages and queues, and gives a full description of the WebSphere MQ programming interface, including data types, function calls, attributes, return codes, and constants.
SC34-6064, introduces the concepts of messages and queues, and shows you how to design, write, and build applications that use the services that WebSphere MQ provides.
SC34-6066, tells you how to install, and write programs with, the WebSphere MQ classes for Java to access WebSphere MQ systems, and the WebSphere MQ classes for Java Message Service to access both Java Message Service (JMS) and WebSphere MQ applications.
SC34-6067, describes the C++ programming-language binding to the WebSphere MQ Message Queue Interface (MQI). It introduces the binding, describes considerations associated with using C++ with WebSphere MQ, and describes the WebSphere MQ C++ classes.
