Example 1. Queue manager name includes an asterisk (*)

In this example the application is not concerned about which queue manager it connects to. The application issues:

MQCONN (*SALE)

Following the rules, this is what happens in this instance:

1. The client channel definition table is scanned in alphabetic channel name sequence, for the queue manager name

   SALE, matching with the application MQCONN call.

2. The first channel definition found to match is

   ALPHA.

3. An attempt to start the channel is made - this is NOT successful because the communication link is broken.

4. The client channel definition table is again scanned for the queue manager name

   SALE and the channel name BETA is found.

5. An attempt to start the channel is made - this is successful.

6. A check to see that a listener is running shows that there is one running. It is not connected to the

   SALE queue manager, but because the MQI call parameter has an asterisk (*) included in it, no check is made. The application is connected to the

   SALE_BACKUP queue manager and continues processing.
