Creating the broker component

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 Prime DB2

If the user ID submitting the BIPCBRK command has the appropriate DB2 and WebSphere MQ authorities, you can ignore the optional mqsicreatebroker parameters -1, -2, and -3.

If it is your intention to have different administrators create the DB2 and WebSphere MQ resources, you can consider using one of these optional parameters; see the mqsicreatebroker command for further information.

  1. Submit job BIPCRBK with option -1. This job creates the files and directories which are placed in the default storage group. You must run this job first, and to do this you need authority to access the broker root directory.
  2. Edit BIPCRBK and submit the job with option -2. This job creates the WebSphere MQ queues. If you do not have the requisite authority, ask your WebSphere MQ system administrator to run the job.
  3. Edit BIPCRBK and submit the job with option -3. This job creates the DB2 queues. If you do not have the requisite authority, ask your DB2 system administrator to run the job.

If you encounter any problems, edit and configure job BIPDLBK. Run job BIPDLBK with the same option, or options, that caused the problems when you ran the BIPCRBK job. Note that you need the appropriate authority to run the jobs.

Correct the problems and run the BIPCRBK job again.
