Configure the third queue manager

Use the MQSC interface to define a listener and a receiver channel for PS3. Join PS3 into the cluster by defining a sender channel from PS3 to one of the full repository queue managers.

Before starting

This task assumes that we have completed the steps in Configure the second queue manager.

Procedure

1. Define and start a listener for PS3.
   1. Launch the MQSC interface. In the command line, enter the following command:

       runmqsc PS3
      

   2. Define a listener. Enter the following MQSC command:

       DEFINE LISTENER(PS3_LS) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONTROL(QMGR) PORT(5002)
      

   3. Start the listener. Enter the following MQSC command:

       START LISTENER(PS3_LS)
      

2. Define a receiver channel for PS3, to allow other queue managers in the cluster to communicate with it. Enter the following MQSC command:

   DEFINE CHANNEL(DEMO.PS3) CHLTYPE(CLUSRCVR) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONNAME('$HOSTNAME(5002)') CLUSTER(DEMO) 
       DESCR('TCP Cluster-receiver channel for queue manager PS3')
   

3. Define a sender channel from PS3 to one of the full repository queue managers (for example, PS1 ). This joins PS3 into the cluster. Enter the following MQSC command:

   DEFINE CHANNEL(DEMO.PS1) CHLTYPE(CLUSSDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONNAME('$HOSTNAME(5000)') CLUSTER(DEMO) 
       DESCR('TCP Cluster-sender channel from PS3 to PS1')
   

4. Validate that PS3 has successfully joined the cluster. Enter the following MQSC command:

    DISPLAY CLUSQMGR(*) QMTYPE
   

   This command returns three entries, one each for QM1, QM2 and QM3. QM1 and QM2 should have a QMTYPE of REPOS, and QM3 should have a QMTYPE of NORMAL.
