Create a channel

 

To create a new channel you have to create two channel definitions, one at each end of the connection. You create the first channel definition at the first queue manager. Then you create the second channel definition at the second queue manager, on the other end of the link.

Both ends must be defined using the same channel name. The two ends must have compatible channel types, for example: Sender and Receiver.

To create a channel definition for one end of the link use the MQSC command DEFINE CHANNEL. Include the name of the channel, the channel type for this end of the connection, a connection name, a description (if required), the name of the transmission queue (if required), and the transmission protocol. Also include any other attributes that you want to be different from the system default values for the required channel type, using the information you have gathered previously.

You are provided with help in deciding on the values of the channel attributes in Channel attributes.

You are very strongly recommended to name all the channels in your network uniquely. Including the source and target queue manager names in the channel name is a good way to do this.
