MQSERVER

This is used to define a minimal channel. It cannot be used to define an SSL channel, or a channel with channel exits. It specifies the location of the WebSphere MQ server and the communication method to be used. Note that ConnectionName must be a fully-qualified network name. The ChannelName cannot contain the forward slash (/) character because it is used to separate the channel name, transport type, and connection name. When the MQSERVER environment variable is used to define a client channel a maximum message length (MAXMSGL) of 4 MB is used, so larger messages cannot flow across this channel. For larger messages a client-connection channel must be defined using DEFINE CHANNEL, on the server, with MAXMSGL set to a larger figure, or using an MQCONNX call with MaxMsgLength set in the MQCD referred to in the MQCNO structure.

To set this variable use one of these commands:

• For Windows:

  SET MQSERVER=ChannelName/TransportType/ConnectionName

• For UNIX systems:

  export MQSERVER=ChannelName/TransportType/ConnectionName
