START CHINIT

---

Use START CHINIT to start a channel initiator.

Note:

On z/OS:

1. This is valid only for channels used for distributed queuing without CICS. If you are using CICS for distributed queuing, see the WebSphere MQ Intercommunication manual.

2. The command server must be running.

Parameter descriptions

CMDSCOPE

This parameter applies to z/OS only and specifies how the command is executed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group.

' '

The command is executed on the queue manager on which it was entered. This is the default value.

qmgr-name

The command is executed on the queue manager you specify, providing the queue manager is active within the queue-sharing group.

You can specify a queue manager name, other than the queue manager on which the command was entered, only if you are using a queue-sharing group environment and if the command server is enabled.

ENVPARM(jcl-substitution)

The parameters and values to be substituted in the JCL procedure (xxxxCHIN, where xxxx is the queue manager name) that is used to start the channel initiator address space.

jcl-substitution

One or more character strings of the form keyword=value enclosed in single quotation marks. If you use more than one character string, separate the strings by commas and enclose the entire list in single quotation marks, for example ENVPARM('HLQ=CSQ,VER=520').

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

INITQ(string)

The name of the initiation queue for the channel initiation process. This is the initiation queue that is specified in the definition of the transmission queue.

This must not be specified on z/OS (the initiation queue on z/OS is always SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ). On AIX, Compaq OpenVMS, HP-UX, Linux, OS/2 Warp, OS/400, Solaris, and Windows, you can specify which initiation queue to use; if you do not specify this, SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ is used. On other platforms it must be specified.

PARM(member-name)

The load module that contains the channel initiator initialization parameters. member-name is the name of a load module provided by the installation. The default is CSQXPARM, which is provided by WebSphere MQ.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.
