7. Start the channel

 

Now that you have completed all the definitions, if you have not already done so, start the channel initiator on WebSphere MQ for z/OS and, on all platforms, start a listener program on QMB. The listener program listens for incoming network requests and starts the receiver channel when it is needed. For information on how to start a listener, see the WebSphere MQ Intercommunications manual.

If the channel initiator was already running (on z/OS) or if any SSL channels have run previously, we need to issue a REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL) command. This ensures that all the changes made to the key repository are available.

Start the channel on QMA:

START CHANNEL(TO.QMB)
