The ART CICS Transaction Trigger Monitor (ARTCKTI) behaves the same as the CICS CKTI transaction. It listens on one or multiple WebSphere MQ initiation queues, gets the trigger message when trigger event occurs, and then forward the trigger message to the target transaction for further operations.

ARTCKTI server accepts the following parameters for the ubbconfig file.

-i trigger_interval

Specifies the maximum time (in milliseconds) that the ARTCKTI server waits for a message to arrive on the initiation queue within each MQGET call.

Numeric, 0-2147483647. Default value is 5000.

-s retry_interval

Specifies the retry interval (in seconds) for ARTCKTI to reconnect to the WebSphere MQ queue manager or to reopen the WebSphere MQ initiation queue upon failure.

Numeric, 0-2147483647. Default value is 5.

-u DFLTUSER

DFLTUSER is passed to application server ARTATRN though transaction request so that ASSIGN USERID can get the expected userid. If -u option is not specified, CICS default userid CICSUSER takes effect.

-m queue_manager_name

Specifies the name of the WebSphere MQ queue manager to be monitored. Only one WebSphere MQ queue manager can be specified for one ARTCKTI server. The default queue manager is used when this parameter is not specified.

-q queue_name1,queue_name2,……

Specifies the names of the initiation queue to be monitored. Multiple WebSphere MQ initiation queues in a WebSphere MQ queue manager can be monitored by one ARTCKTI server.
