MQCHLLIB

This specifies the directory path to the file containing the client channel definition table. The file is created on the server, but can be copied across to the WebSphere MQ client machine. If MQCHLLIB is not set, the path defaults to:

• For Windows :

  mqmtop

• For UNIX systems:

  /var/mqm/

If you are using WebSphere MQ for z/OS as your server, the file must be kept on the WebSphere MQ client machine.

For servers on other platforms, consider keeping this file on the server to make administration easier.

To set this variable use one of these commands:

• For Windows:

  SET MQCHLLIB=pathname

• For UNIX systems:

  export MQCHLLIB=pathname

For example:

SET MQCHLLIB=C:\wmqtest

Notes:

1. If you change the setting of this variable after you create the queue manager, copy your existing client channel definition table to the new location.

2. If you change the setting of this variable before you create the queue manager, you do not need to copy your existing client channel definition table to the new location.
