Processing a dump using IPCS in batch

Use this topic to understand how IBM® MQ dumps can be formatted by IPCS commands in batch mode.

To use IPCS in batch, insert the required IPCS statements into your batch job stream (see Figure 1 ).

Change the data set name (DSN=) on the DUMP00 statement to reflect the dump you want to process, and insert the IPCS subcommands that you want to use.
