Under the directory ASPLMQ-v1/ you can locate the following subdirectories:
ASPLMQ-v1/
|-- ggfunc        <--- contains *.pm to be copied to GG-Container
|-- junkwr        <--- contains *.pl to test writers in standalone
|-- MQutils       <--- contains the MQparser.pm
|-- MQ_Writers    <--- contains the Perl writers modules
`-- shared        <--- contains the shared scripts

If you have installed ASPL on your UNIX system, you can add the supplemental
files in this distribution to enable group operations on IBM MQ configuration
objects.
Refer to Appendix "Adding MQ Scripting to ASPL" for information on how to
install these add-on files to your ASPL distribution.

If your ASPL distribution has the ASPLMQ-v1 add-on already included then you do
not need to reinstall the files. To verify of your ASPL distribution has
the ASPLMQ-v1 add-on, issue the following command at the shell prompt:
# asplcmd showwriteformat
If a list of MQ_Writer identifiers are printed, then ASPLMQ add-on is already
included in your distribution.
