Displaying cluster channels

We can display cluster channels using MQSC commands or using the operations and control panels.

To display all the cluster channels that have been defined (explicitly or using auto-definition), use the MQSC command, DISPLAY CLUSQMGR.

Use the operations and control panels, starting from the initial panel, complete these fields and press enter:

Field	Value
Action	1 (List or Display)
Object type	CLUSCHL
Name	*

You are presented with a panel like figure Figure 1, in which the information for each cluster channel occupies three lines, and includes its channel, cluster, and queue manager names. For cluster-sender channels, the overall state is shown.
