| |
| <p>It is relatively straightforward to run the ActiveMQ broker on z/OS.</p> |
| |
| <p>There are a couple of steps:</p> |
| |
| <p> 1. Copy ActiveMQ to z/OS<br clear="none"> |
| 2. Modify the configuration<br clear="none"> |
| 3. Run using JZOS<br clear="none"> |
| 4. Test</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="zOS-CopyActiveMQtoz/OS">Copy ActiveMQ to z/OS</h3> |
| |
| <ul><li>Ensure that the 1.5 JVM is available on z/OS, together with the <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://www.dovetail.com/docs/jzos/index.html" rel="nofollow">JZOS</a> component.</li><li>Download the .zip version of ActiveMQ from Apache.</li><li>FTP the broker to a suitable directory in USS.</li><li>Log into USS using rlogin or whatever has been configured at your site to do a login into USS.</li><li>Extract the zip file using the command: jar -xvf apache-activemq-5.0.0.zip</li><li>This will extract the whole package in ASCII, so do not except any of the files to be viewable on z/OS, except using special editors suitable for ASCII.</li><li>Maybe rename the directory to which the files were extracted to something shorter or create a softlink for more convenient access.</li></ul> |
| |
| |
| <h3 id="zOS-Modifytheconfiguration">Modify the configuration</h3> |
| |
| <p>Currently, the Jetty plugin does not work on z/OS, so need to be disabled in the activemq.xml file.</p> |
| |
| <ul><li>FTP the activemq.xml file from the conf directory in the ActiveMQ installation to your PC in binary mode.</li><li>Edit the XML file using your XML editor or a text editor like Wordpad.</li><li>Search for "jetty" in the XML.</li><li>Change the comment block so that jetty is completely commented out.</li><li>Save the file.</li><li>FTP the file back into the location on z/OS it came from, again in binary mode, so that it is preserved as an ASCII file.</li></ul> |

| |
| <p>I have renamed the lib/optional directory in USS and shortened some of the lib/optional jar names to make the JCL easier to handle. The JCL to run the ActiveMQ broker is then:</p> |

| <p>Once the broker has been started on z/OS, modify one of the example application to have the hostname of the z/OS system and run it to confirm that the broker is functioning correctly.</p> |

| <p>You can also gather information about the broker as usual using <a shape="rect" href="jmx.html">jmx</a>.</p></div> |
