Browsing a channel on IBM i
We can browse a channel from the Display Channel panel or by using the DSPMQMCHL command on the command line.
To browse the settings of a channel, use the WRKMQMCHL command to begin at the Display Channel panel:- Type option 5 (Display) against the required channel name.
- Press enter to activate your choice.
If you select more than one channel, they are presented in sequence.
Alternatively, we can use the DSPMQMCHL command from the command line.
This results in the appropriate Display Channel panel being displayed with details of the current settings for the channel. The fields are described in Channel attributes.Display MQM Channel Channel name . . . . . . . . . : ST.JST.2TO1 Queue Manager Name . . . . . . : QMREL Channel type . . . . . . . . . : *SDR Transport type . . . . . . . . : *TCP Text 'description' . . . . . . : John's sender to WINSDOA1 Connection name . . . . . . . : MUSTANG Transmission queue . . . . . . : WINSDOA1 Message channel agent . . . . : Library . . . . . . . . . . : Message channel agent user ID : *NONE Batch interval . . . . . . . . : 0 Batch size . . . . . . . . . . : 50 Disconnect interval . . . . . : 6000 F3=Exit F12=Cancel F21=Print
