Overview for MQSCO

Availability: The MQSCO structure is available on the following clients:

• AIX
• IBM i
• Linux
• Windows

Purpose: The MQSCO structure (in conjunction with the TLS fields in the MQCD structure) allows an application running as an IBM MQ MQI client to specify configuration options that control the use of TLS for the client connection when the channel protocol is TCP/IP. The structure is an input parameter on the MQCONNX call.

If the channel protocol for the client channel is not TCP/IP, the MQSCO structure is ignored.

Character set and encoding: Data in MQSCO must be in the character set given by the CodedCharSetId queue manager attribute, and encoding of the local queue manager given by MQENC_NATIVE.
