Channels

 

A channel is a communication link used by distributed queue managers. There are two categories of channel in WebSphere MQ:

• Message channels, which are unidirectional, and transfer messages from one queue manager to another.

• MQI channels, which are bidirectional, and transfer MQI calls from a WebSphere MQ client to a queue manager, and responses from a queue manager to a WebSphere MQ client.

You need to consider these when designing your application, but programs are unaware of WebSphere MQ channel objects. For more information, see WebSphere MQ Intercommunications and WebSphere MQ Clients.
