Automatic definition of channels

You enable automatic definition of receiver and server-connection definitions by updating the queue manager object using the MQSC command, ALTER QMGR (or the PCF command Change Queue Manager).

If IBM MQ receives an inbound attach request and cannot find an appropriate receiver or server-connection channel, it creates a channel automatically. Automatic definitions are based on two default definitions supplied with IBM MQ: SYSTEM.AUTO.RECEIVER and SYSTEM.AUTO.SVRCONN.

For more information about creating channel definitions automatically, see Preparing channels. For information about automatically defining channels for clusters, see Working with auto-defined channels.
