Delete a channel definition
We can delete a channel definition using MQSC commands or using the operations and control panels.
To delete a channel definition using the MQSC commands, use DELETE CHANNEL.
Use the operations and control panels, starting from the initial panel, complete these fields and press enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Action | 4 (Manage) |
| Object type | channel type (for example SENDER) or CHANNEL |
| Name | CHANNEL.TO.DELETE |
| Disposition | The location of the object. |
You are presented with another panel. Select function type 1 on this panel.
Press enter to delete the channel definition; we are asked to confirm that we want to delete the channel definition by pressing enter again.
Note: The channel initiator has to be running before a channel definition can be deleted (except for client-connection channels). Parent topic: Monitor and control channels on z/OS
