WebSphere MQ Switch Module

Describes the provided WebSphere MQ switch module.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

Fully functional 32- and 64-bit WebSphere MQ switch modules are provided as part of Visual COBOL. The filenames and locations of these built modules are:

Filename Default Location
esmqxa.dll %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2013\bin
esmqxa.dll %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2013\bin64

By default, these switch modules operate in two-phase commit mode. If instructed by Micro Focus SupportLine to change the operation to one-phase commit mode, you can do this by setting the ES_MQ_1PC environment variable to Yes or True.

Note: Depending on how you configure Enterprise Server, you might not need an XA switch for WebSphere MQ. See Configuring Enterprise Server for IBM WebSphere MQ for more information.
