Substation ES has an easy process in CICS for publishing messages to consuming clients.
In CICS, you create a data object you want to publish either as an extension of a CommArea, a Container, a storage pointer or a TSQ record. There are a few things you need to consider:
Determine what the message you publish should look like.
- JMS Bytes message or JMS Text message
Tip: The most efficient on the z/OS side is JMS Bytes Message.
- Do you want “tibss-status” property?
Tip: The “tibss-status” property can be helpful for processing on the Consumer size, but it does make the JMS message larger.
- Do you want to set the “REPLY-TO” destination?
Tip: A “REPLY-TO” can direct the Consumer where to send responses after processing the JMS message. “REPLY-TO” does increase the size of the message.
