Work with channel status

Use the WRKMQMCHST command to bring up the first of three screens showing the status of your channels. You can view the three status screens in sequence when you select Change-view (F11).

Alternatively, selecting option 8 (Work with Status) from the Work with MQM Channels panel also brings up the first status panel.

Work with channel status applies to all message channels. It does not apply to MQI channels other than server-connection channels on WebSphere MQ for iSeries V5.1 and later.

Note:
The Work with Channel Status screens only show channels that are active after messages have been sent through the channel and the sequence number has been incremented.
