15. © 2009 IBM Corporation What this SupportPac contains  SupportPac program  Pre-compiled TXSeries application  Samples C and COBOL language  Documentation  Contains installation, configuration and problem determination information  Configuration scripts  Used to configure the SupportPac for a particular region  Installs resource definitions

16. © 2009 IBM Corporation Prerequisites for the support pack  IBM TXSeries for Multiplatforms, V7.1.0.1  WebSphere Business Events V7  WebSphere MQ C clients Version 6.0 and above  Required for JMS transport only 16

17. © 2009 IBM Corporation Using the support pack  Identify the location in code where the event occurs  Create a Channel with containers to provide  Name of the event  Configuration information for how the event is to be emitted  Sets of name value containers to provide  NAME of a data item to be included in the event payload  Value of the DATA item to be included in the event payload  Send the channel over an EXEC CICS LINK statement to the supportPac Program 17
