Sending end

 

The connection name (CONNAME) field in the channel definition should be set to either the host name (for example MVSHUR1) or the TCP network address of the target, in IPv4 dotted decimal form (for example 9.20.9.30) or IPv6 hexadecimal form (for example fe80:43e4:0204:acff:fe97:2c34:fde0:3485). If the connection name is a host name, a TCP name server is required to convert the host name into a TCP host address. (This is a function of TCP, not WebSphere MQ.)

On the initiating end of a connection (sender, requester, and server channel types) it is possible to provide an optional port number for the connection, for example:

Connection name

9.20.9.30(1555)

In this case the initiating end will attempt to connect to a receiving program listening on port 1555.

The channel initiator can use any TCP/IP stack which is active and available. By default, the channel initiator will bind its outbound channels to the default IP address for the TCP/IP stack named in the TCPNAME queue manager attribute. To connect through a different stack, you should specify either the hostname or IP address of the stack in the LOCLADDR attribute of the channel.
