NETPRTY channel attribute

The NETPRTY channel attribute specifies the priority for a CLUSRCVR channel. The value must be in the range 0-9, where 0 is the lowest priority and 9 is the highest.

Use the NETPRTY attribute to make one network the primary network, and another network the backup network. Given a set of equally ranked channels, clustering chooses the path with the highest priority when multiple paths are available.

A typical example of using the NETPRTY channel attribute is to differentiate between networks that have different costs or speeds and connect the same destinations.

Note: Specify this attribute on the cluster-receiver channel at the target queue manager. Any balancing you specify on the matching cluster-sender channel is likely to be ignored. See Cluster channels.
