Altering a channel definition

We can alter a channel definition using MQSC commands or using the operations and control panels.

To alter a channel definition using the MQSC commands, use ALTER CHANNEL.

Use the operations and control panels, starting from the initial panel, complete these fields and press enter:

Field Value
Action 3 (Alter)
Object type channel type (for example SENDER) or CHANNEL
Name CHANNEL.TO.ALTER
Disposition The location of the stored object.

You are presented with some panels containing information about the current attributes of the channel. Change any of the unprotected fields that we want by over typing the new value, and then press enter to change the channel definition.

For information about the channel attributes, see Channel attributes.
