Cancelling the job will mean MQ series won't be executing. The performance of the system should actually improve a bit without it executing; the only impact would be if you have something attempting to access MQ series since it would not be able to get to it.

why not ask the people who let You use their mainframe ? :geek:

they know the setup we do not!

Thank you for your answer Mr. Robert Sample.

The MQ series you're talking about is:

MQ WMQ Series Operations and Control

Correct me if I'm wrong, the WMQ Series Operations and Control is used for administration tasks ?

Thank you,
Roger

MQ is middleware, much like CICS. It is a program product, and as such is NOT part of the operating system z/OS (just as CICS is not considered part of z/OS), but rather an independent software that may be purchased and used on a given site (but it is NOT required). The operations and control you are referring to will be used for administrative tasks FOR MQ SERIES ONLY. The operating system administrative tasks are handled separately. Since MQ series is a program product (and hence optional to any site), it is only needed to be running when an application attempts to use components of the product.

the zOS 1.10 ADCD that the TS is running contains ALL The relevant program products :mrgreen:

post the virtual mainframe configuration so that we can see if any volumes were left out

Now how would you know

You say that this message has started to appear recently. So what changed? Seems that a device which used to be available is now offline. I suggest that you check the configuraton, and messages from the emulator when started. If possible then compare with a startup that worked.
As other has said, just answer CANCEL if you do not not need MQseries.

Good afternoon everybody.
First of all, thank you for all your answers.
Mr. Enrico-Sorichetti asked me to post the virtual mainframe configuration.
I looked in the internet and I found the following IBM page:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece ... 00/d3m.htm

By writing DISPLAY M I in the Console Terminal see the following:

Select all

 IEE174I 22.53.12 DISPLAY M           FRAME  1     F      E   SYS=ADCD
 PROCESSOR STATUS                                                     
 ID  CPU                  SERIAL                                      
 00  +                     0123453090                                 
 01  +                     1123453090                                 
 02  +                     2123453090                                 
 03  +                     3123453090                                 
 04  -                                                                
 05  -                                                                
 06  -                                                                
IEE612I CN=L700     DEVNUM=0700 SYS=ADCD                              

Probably this does not help you, but that was the only page I found about displaying configuration.

I also looked about MQ Series and I found the following wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_WebSphere_MQ

If this page is describing the same Middleware that you've mentioned earlier, I know I can CANCEL the job with confidence.

Thanks to everybody,

Roger

zares1, zasys1

Websphere MQSeries 7.0.0

is that enough ?

add the stupid reply about the virtual mainframe configuration ?
