Disposition (QSGDISP)

This attribute specifies the disposition of the channel in a queue sharing group. It is valid on z/OS® only.

Values are:

QMGR

The channel is defined on the page set of the queue manager that executes the command. This value is the default.

GROUP

The channel is defined in the shared repository. This value is allowed only if there is a shared queue manager environment. When a channel is defined with QSGDISP(GROUP), the command DEFINE CHANNEL(name) NOREPLACE QSGDISP(COPY) is generated automatically and sent to all active queue managers to cause them to make local copies on page set 0. For queue managers which are not active, or which join the queue sharing group at a later date, the command is generated when the queue manager starts.

COPY

The channel is defined on the page set of the queue manager that executes the command, copying its definition from the QSGDISP(GROUP) channel of the same name. This value is allowed only if there is a shared queue manager environment.

This attribute is valid for all channel types.
