Process definitions

A process definition contains information about the application that starts in response to a trigger event on a queue manager. When you enable triggering on a queue, we can create a process definition and associate it with the queue.

Each queue can specify a different process definition, or several queues can share the same process definition. If you create a process definition, the queue manager extracts the information from the process definition and places it in the trigger message for the trigger monitor to use.

To trigger the start of a channel, instead of an application, we do not need to create a process definition because the transmission queue definition is used instead.
