Path to exits

A default path for location of the channel exits is defined in the client configuration file. Channel exits are loaded when a channel is initialized.

On UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems, a client configuration file is added to the system during installation of the IBM MQ MQI client. A default path for location of the channel exits on the client is defined in this file, using the stanza:

ClientExitPath:
ExitsDefaultPath= string
ExitsDefaultPath64= string

where string is a file location in a format appropriate to the platform

When a channel is initialized, after an MQCONN or MQCONNX call, the client configuration file is searched. The ClientExitPath stanza is read and any channel exits that are specified in the channel definition are loaded.
