Channel attributes
The previous chapters have introduced the basic concepts of the product, the business perspective basis of its design, its implementation, and the control features.
This chapter describes the channel attributes held in the channel definitions. This is product-sensitive programming interface information.
You choose the attributes of a channel to be optimal for a given set of circumstances for each channel. However, when the channel is running, the actual values may have changed during startup negotiations. See Preparing channels.
Many attributes have default values, and we can use these for most channels. However, in those circumstances where the defaults are not optimal, refer to this chapter for guidance in selecting the correct values.
In WebSphere MQ for iSeries, most attributes can be specified as *SYSDFTCHL, which means that the value is taken from the system default channel in your system.
