IBM MQ for AIX TPN setup

Alternative ways of ensuring that SNA receiver channels activate correctly when a sender channel initiates a conversation.

During the AIX Communications Server configuration process, an LU 6.2 TPN profile was created, which contained the full path to a TP executable program. In the example, the file was called u/interops/AIX.crs6a. We can choose a name, but consider including the name of your queue manager in it. The contents of the executable file must be:

#!/bin/sh
MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/bin/amqcrs6a -m aix

where aix is the queue manager name (A) and MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH is the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed. After creating this file, enable it for execution by running the command:

chmod 755 /u/interops/AIX.crs6a

As an alternative to creating an executable file, we can specify the path on the Add LU 6.2 TPN Profile panel, using command-line parameters.

Specifying a path in one of these two ways ensures that SNA receiver channels activate correctly when a sender channel initiates a conversation.
