These objects can be manipulated, that is, defined, deleted, changed, by the

MQSeries commands.
Commands can be issued from:
•
the initialization input data sets
•
the MVS console
•
the system-command input queue
•
the COMMAND function of the CSQUTIL utility
•
the operations and control panels using ISPF.
When you migrate to a CICS/ESA environment, your channels are special. They
must be handled from the CICS region rather than through the MQSeries region:
You monitor and control the channels to remote queue managers with the DQM
(Distributed Queue Management) panels. Each MVS queue manager has a set of
DQM CICS transactions for controlling interconnections to compatible remote
queue managers using CICS ISC facilities.

is a VSAM file

•
holds channel definitions

runs and where the MQSeries Channel adapters run.
You use channel definition panels to:
•
create, copy, display, alter, find and delete channel definitions
•
start channels, reset channel sequence numbers, stop channels and so on
•
display status information about channels.
As you can see, the VSE/ESA related MQSeries objects (and more) exist also for
MQSeries for MVS/ESA. Similarly, most of the parameters used to define these
objects are identical or have an equivalent which allows you to reproduce or
extend the definition you used under MQSeries for VSE/ESA.

But you can also see that the way the objects are defined is different in the
OS/390 environment. There is no way to directly migrate the VSE/ESA definitions.

With the MQPUTIL program shipped with MQSeries for VSE.ESA V.1.4 you can
print a listing with the MQSeries system, queues, and channels defined under
VSE/ESA. You have to use this listing to recreate equivalent definitions for
MQSeries for MVS/ESA. You will have to:
