At my previous employer, we used MQ Series to communicate with a third
party software that ran on a Windows NT box.
Like Michael stated, you depend on those API's on connecting, open, and
retrieving the messages off the queue. We used several queues for the
different business processes. We built additional logic, used by third
party software, that used a trailer record to verify the record counts.
MQ Series was very stable on the ISeries. We had a few issues were the
queues on the NT box would go down once in awhile.

I've worked a ton with MQ Series (Websphere MQ) on iSeries, communicating
with Winddows, UNIX and mainframes. You do have to write a program on both
ends, but it's fairly easy code. There are 6 salient APIs that you
use...essentially you MQCONNect, MQOPEN, MQPUT and MQGET, MQCLOSe and
MQDISConnect. The IBM documentation is OK, but there are some good MQ
forums. If you have MQ Series licensed on both (all) machines, or you don't
mind spending the bucks, it's the method I would choose.

who has worked with this that could comment? It seems to me that it's a message handling system and we would have to code programs on either side to handle the file updates contained in each message. Another solution I have found is IBM's DB2 DataPropagator. Once again,

there anyone out there who has worked with this that could comment? This looks like it will definitely do what we need without a lot of extra

Rick Weber | TOYS 'Я' US International -----Original Message----- All, I need some suggestions. I have just been given an assignment to
research
a project to permit our local ISeries RPG programs to communicate with and access data in a cross reference file on our 390 mainframe. I am looking for advice on how to use native devices or third party products or anything else out there. One system I have already been asked to look at is MQ Series. The design we envision would maintain a mirror in each country's iSeries system of the mainframe file. The system needs to keep the mirror file synchronized with the mainframe on its own. The reason we need this design as opposed to accessing the mainframe file directly is to keep the local system running in the event of a communications interruption. ======================================================================== This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient (s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
