What's New

Java support

MQSeries classes for Java™ include support for MQSeries for AS/400,

V5.1.

New calls

MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 supports the following new calls:

vMQCONNX, which allows you to specify queue-manager connection options.

vMQCMIT, MQBACK, and MQBEGIN, which allow MQSeries to coordinate a local unit of work.

Two-phase commit

MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 participates as a two-phase commit resource in global units of work (UOW) managed by OS/400®.

Automatic object creation

MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 creates default objects automatically when you create a queue manager.

Conversion of the EBCDIC new-line character

You can control the conversion of EBCDIC new-line characters. Thus you can ensure that data transmitted between EBCDIC systems and ASCII systems is unaltered by the ASCII conversion.

Multiple queue managers

MQSeries for AS/400 now supports multiple queue managers. You can nominate one queue manager to be the default queue manager. You can perform actions on a default queue manager without specifying its name on the commands.

Job priority control

Users can set independent priority for individual MQSeries jobs - for example, channel agents.

MQSeries subsystem

MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 has its own subsystem. Previous releases used QSYSWRK.

Euro support

MQSeries supports new and changed code pages that use the euro currency symbol. Further details of code pages that include the euro symbol are provided in the MQSeries Application Programming Reference book.

Multithreaded channels

MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 supports multithreaded channels.

Multithreaded applications

MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 supports multithreaded applications.
