Running the example for UNIX, Linux, and Windows

Information about starting the channel initiator and listener and suggestions for expanding on this scenario.

Once these definitions have been created, you need to:

• Start the channel initiator on each queue manager.
• Start the listener for each queue manager.

For information about starting the channel initiator and listener, see Set up communication for Windows and Set up communication on UNIX and Linux systems.

Expanding this example

This simple example could be expanded with:

• The use of LU 6.2 communications for interconnection with CICS® systems, and transaction processing.
• Add more queue, process, and channel definitions to allow other applications to send messages between the two queue managers.
• Add user-exit programs on the channels to allow for link encryption, security checking, or additional message processing.
• Use queue manager aliases and reply-to queue aliases to understand more about how these can be used in the organization of your queue manager network.
