Channel configuration for IBM i

You need to configure your channels to implement the example configuration channels.

This section details the configuration to be performed on the IBM® i queue manager to implement the channel described in Example IBM MQ configuration for all platforms.

Examples are given for connecting IBM MQ for IBM i and IBM MQ for Windows. To connect to IBM MQ on another platform, use the appropriate values from the table in place of those values for Windows

Note:
  1. The words in bold are user-specified and reflect the names of IBM MQ objects used throughout these examples. If you change the names used here, ensure that you also change the other references made to these objects throughout this section. All others are keywords and must be entered as shown.
  2. The IBM MQ channel ping command (PNGMQMCHL) runs interactively, whereas starting a channel causes a batch job to be submitted. If a channel ping completes successfully but the channel does not start, the network and IBM MQ definitions are probably correct, but that the IBM i environment for the batch job is not. For example, make sure that QSYS2 is included in the system portion of the library list and not just your personal library list.

For details and examples of how to create the objects listed refer to Defining a queue and Defining a channel.
