Configure channel exits

To call the channel exit, we must name it in the channel definition.

Channel exits must be named in the channel definition. We can do this naming when you first define the channels, or we can add the information later using, for example, the MQSC command ALTER CHANNEL. We can also give the channel exit names in the MQCD channel data structure. The format of the exit name depends on the IBM MQ platform; see MQCD or MQSC commands for information.

If the channel definition does not contain a user-exit program name, the user exit is not called.

The channel auto-definition exit is the property of the queue manager, not the individual channel. In order for this exit to be called, it must be named in the queue manager definition. To alter a queue manager definition, use the MQSC command ALTER QMGR.
