Parameter descriptions

(channel-name)

The name of the channel for which in-doubt messages are to be resolved. This is required.

ACTION

Specifies whether to commit or back out the in-doubt messages (this is required):

COMMIT

The messages are committed, that is, they are deleted from the transmission queue

BACKOUT

The messages are backed out, that is, they are restored to the transmission queue

CHLDISP

This parameter applies to z/OS only and can take the values of:

PRIVATE
SHARED

In conjunction with the various values of the CMDSCOPE parameter, this parameter controls two types of channel:

SHARED

A receiving channel is shared if it was started in response to an inbound transmission directed to the queue-sharing group.
A sending channel is shared if its transmission queue has a disposition of SHARED.

PRIVATE

A receiving channel is private if it was started in response to an inbound transmission directed to the queue manager.
A sending channel is private if its transmission queue has a disposition other than SHARED.

This disposition is not related to the disposition set by the disposition of the queue-sharing group of the channel definition.
The combination of the CHLDISP and CMDSCOPE parameters also controls from which queue manager the channel is operated. The possible options are:

On the local queue manager where the command is issued.
On another specific named queue manager in the group.

The various combinations of CHLDISP and CMDSCOPE are summarized in Table 1

CHLDISP and CMDSCOPE for RESOLVE CHANNEL
CHLDISP CMDSCOPE( ) or CMDSCOPE (local-qmgr) CMDSCOPE (qmgr-name)
PRIVATE Resolve private channel on the local queue manager Resolve private channel on the named queue manager
SHARED Resolve a shared channel on all active queue managers.
This might automatically generate a command using CMDSCOPE and send it to the appropriate queue manager. If there is no definition for the channel on the queue manager to which the command is sent, or if the definition is unsuitable for the command, the command fails.
The definition of a channel on the queue manager where the command is entered might be used to determine the target queue manager where the command is actually run. Therefore, it is important that channel definitions are consistent. Inconsistent channel definitions might result in unexpected command behavior.
Not permitted

CMDSCOPE

This parameter applies to z/OS only and specifies how the command is executed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group.
If CHLDISP is set to SHARED, CMDSCOPE must be blank or the local queue manager.

‘ ’

The command is executed on the queue manager on which it was entered. This is the default value.

qmgr-name

The command is executed on the queue manager you specify, providing the queue manager is active within the queue-sharing group.
We can specify a queue manager name only if you are using a queue-sharing group environment and if the command server is enabled.
