ChannelEvent (character string) on IBM i

Determines whether channel event messages are generated.

This attribute determines whether channel event messages are put onto the SYSTEM.ADMIN.CHANNEL.EVENT queue, and if so, what type of messages are queued (for example 'channel started', 'channel stopped', 'channel not activated'). Before the implementation of this attribute, the only way of preventing channel event messages from being queued was to delete the target queue.

This attribute also allows you to collect IMS bridge events only (because we can now switch off channel events, they do not get put onto the same queue). The same applies to TLS events which can also be collected without having to collect channel events as well.

This attribute also allows you to collect significant events only (for example when channels have errors, not when they start and stop normally).

• EVREXP (only the following channel events are generated: RC2279, RC2283, RC2284, RC2295, RC2296).
• EVRENA (all channel events are generated; that is, in addition to the events generated by EVREXP, the RC2282, and RC2283 events are also generated).
• EVRDIS (no channel events are generated; this is the queue manager initial default value).

To determine the value of this attribute, use the IACHNE selector with the MQINQ call. Parent topic: Attributes for the queue manager on IBM i
