A publishing map provides information about the target to which the publication service writes change messages. The information presented here describes creating publishing maps for WebSphere® MQ.
Before you begin
The information contained in a publishing map differs, depending on whether you adopt the WebSphere MQ option or the File Manager option as your publishing target. If you adopt the WebSphere MQ option, a publishing map identifies a send queue that is used to transport change messages to applications.
If you adopt the File Manager option, a publishing map provides information about the data sets that store change messages for later processing by applications. See the topic about configuring File Manager for information about how to create a publishing map for that publishing target.
When you create a publishing map for WebSphere MQ, you specify the send queue and the values of parameters for the send queue.
You must have $VSAM authority or SYSADM authority on the data server where you will store the information about the publication.
About this task
After you create at least one publishing map, you can create one or more publications. The data server publishes all messages based on the format that you specify in the publishing map.
Procedure
If you want to modify the properties of the publishing map, right-click it and select Update.
