Shared channel configuration example

To configure a shared channel, a number of steps must be completed.

The subsequent topics detail the configuration to be performed on the z/OS queue manager to implement the channel described in Example IBM MQ configuration for all platforms.

Examples are given for connecting IBM MQ for z/OS and Windows. To connect to IBM MQ on another platform use the appropriate set of values from the table in place of the values for Windows.

Note: The words in bold are user-specified and reflect the names of IBM MQ objects used throughout these examples. If we change the names used here, ensure that you also change the other references made to these objects throughout this section. All others are keywords and must be entered as shown.

ID	Parameter Name	Reference	Example Used	User Value
Definition for local node
A	Queue Manager Name		QSG
B	Local queue name		QSG.SHAREDQ
Connection to IBM MQ for Windows The values in this section of the table must match the values used in Channel configuration for Windows, as indicated.
C	Remote queue manager name	A	WINNT
D	Remote queue name		WINNT.REMOTEQ
E	Queue name at remote system	B	WINNT.LOCALQ
F	Transmission queue name		WINNT
G	Sender (LU 6.2) channel name		QSG.WINNT.SNA
H	Sender (TCP) channel name		QSG.WINNT.TCP
I	Receiver (LU 6.2) channel name	G	WINNT.QSG.SNA
J	Receiver (TCP/IP) channel name	H	WINNT.QSG.TCP
Connection to IBM MQ for AIX The values in this section of the table must match the values used in Channel configuration for AIX, as indicated.
C	Remote queue manager name		AIX
D	Remote queue name		AIX.REMOTEQ
E	Queue name at remote system	B	AIX.LOCALQ
F	Transmission queue name		AIX
G	Sender (LU 6.2) channel name		QSG.AIX.SNA
H	Sender (TCP/IP) channel name		QSG.AIX.TCP
I	Receiver (LU 6.2) channel name	G	AIX.QSG.SNA
J	Receiver (TCP/IP) channel name	H	AIX.QSG.TCP
