Creating the User Name Server runtime environment on z/OS

This is part of the larger task of creating a User Name Server on z/OS

Before you start

To complete this task, you must have completed the following task:
Use the mqsicreateusernameserver command to create a User Name Server and its runtime environment. The command syntax is:
mqsicreateusernameserver -q QueueManagerName [-r RefreshInterval] [-1] [-2] 
where:
-q QueueManagerName
is a required parameter and is the name of the WebSphere MQ queue manager associated with your User Name Server, for example MQP1.
-r RefreshInterval
is an optional parameter and is the interval, specified in seconds, at which the User Name Server interrogates the security subsystem for changes to user or group attributes. If an interval is not specified, the User Name Server default interval of 60 seconds is used.
-1
is an optional parameter and is the registry pass; this creates only the User Name Server registry.
-2
is an optional parameter and is the WebSphere MQ pass; this creates only the User Name Server WebSphere MQ queues.

You will be asked to confirm that the parameters you enter are correct. Enter Y to confirm, or N to change the parameters. If you choose to change the parameters, run mqsicreateusernameserver again.

Check that you are using the correct installation path, particularly if you are customizing the system after applying maintenance to an alternate set of WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker libraries. If you are applying service to the broker, you might want a different installation path.

The functionality of this command is not the same as on distributed platforms, because no WebSphere MQ-related definitions are performed. You have to follow further steps to complete the User Name Server creation and customization.
