TCP/IP default port

By default, for TCP/IP, IBM MQ assumes that the channel will be connected to port 1414.

We can change this by:

• Add the port number in brackets as the last part of the ConnectionName:
  • On Windows:

    SET  MQSERVER=ChannelName/TransportType/ConnectionName(PortNumber)
    

  • On UNIX and Linux :

    export  MQSERVER='ChannelName/TransportType/ConnectionName(PortNumber)'
    

• Change the mqclient.ini file by adding the port number to the protocol name, for example:

  TCP:
  port=2001
  

• Add IBM MQ to the services file as described in Use the TCP/IP listener on UNIX and Linux.
