If you have configured a message flow that runs on a broker on
a distributed system, and you now want to deploy it to a broker that runs
on z/OS, be aware of the following:
- WebSphere
MQ queue manager and queue names
- There are restrictions on WebSphere
MQ resource
names on z/OS:
- The queue manager name cannot be greater than four characters.
- All queue names must be in uppercase. Although using quotation marks preserves
the case, certain WebSphere
MQ activities on
z/OS cannot find the queue names being referenced.
For more information about configuring on z/OS, refer to the WebSphere
MQ for z/OS Concepts and Planning Guide.
- File system references
- File system references must reflect a UNIX file
path. If you deploy a message flow to z/OS that you have previously run on
Windows, you might have to make changes. If you have previously deployed the
message flow to a UNIX system (AIX,
Linux, Solaris, or HP-UX), you do not
have to make any changes.
- Databases
- If the message flow accesses one or more databases, it might be subject
to some restrictions based on the system on which the database is defined.
These restrictions are described in Database locations.
