Starting a channel listener
We can start a channel listener using MQSC commands or using the operations and control panels.
To start a channel listener using the MQSC commands, use START LISTENER.
Use the operations and control panels, starting from the initial panel, complete these fields and press enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Action | 6 (Start) |
| Object type | SYSTEM |
| Name | Blank |
The Start a System Function panel is displayed (see Figure 1 ).
Select function type 2 (channel listener). Select Inbound disposition. Select Transport type. If the Transport type is L, select LU name. If the Transport type is T, select Port number and (optionally) IP address. Press enter. Note: For the TCP/IP listener, we can start multiple combinations of Port and IP address.
