Channel initiator
All cluster queue managers need a channel initiator to monitor the system-defined initiation queue SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ. This is the initiation queue for all transmission queues including the cluster transmission queue.
- WebSphere MQ for z/OS
- There is one channel initiator for each queue manager and it runs as a separate address space. You start it using the MQSC START CHINIT command, which you issue as part of your queue manager startup.
- Platforms other than z/OS
- When you start a queue manager, a channel initiator is automatically started if the queue manager attribute SCHINIT is set to QMGR. Otherwise it can be started using the MQSC START CHINIT command or the runmqchi control command.
