The Ping Channel (MQCMD_PING_CHANNEL) command tests a channel by sending data as a special message to the remote message queue manager and checking that the data is returned. The data is generated by the local queue manager.

This command can only be used for channels with a ChannelType value of MQCHT_SENDER, MQCHT_SERVER, or MQCHT_CLUSSDR.

Where there is both a locally defined channel and an auto-defined cluster-sender channel of the same name, the command applies to the locally defined channel.

If there is no locally defined channel but more than one auto-defined cluster-sender channel, the command applies to the last channel added to the repository on the local queue manager.

The command is not valid if the channel is running; however it is valid if the channel is stopped or in retry mode.

Required parameters:

ChannelName

Optional parameters:

DataCount, CommandScope, ChannelDisposition
