Receiving on TCP

 

Receiving channel programs are started in response to a startup request from the sending channel. To do this, a listener program has to be started to detect incoming network requests and start the associated channel. You start this listener program with the START LISTENER command, or using the operations and control panels.

By default, the TCP Listener program uses port 1414 and listens on all addresses available to your TCP stack. You may start your TCP listener program to only listen on a specific address or hostname by specifying IPADDR in the START LISTENER command. (For more information, see Preparing WebSphere MQ for z/OS for DQM with queue-sharing groups, "Listeners".)

By default, TCP/IP listeners can bind only to addresses associated with the TCP/IP stack named in the TCPNAME queue manager attribute. To start listeners for other addresses, set your TCPSTACK queue manager attribute to 'MULTIPLE'.
