If the channel is inactive

Having issued the command

DIS CHSTATUS(QM1.TO.QM2) ALL, if the output shows no status, then the channel is inactive. Do the following:

1. If the channel should have been automatically started by a trigger, check the following:

   • Check that the messages on the transmission queue are committed. For more information, see Are the messages on the queue available?.

   • If there are available messages on the transmission queue, check that the trigger settings on the transmission queue are correct. For details of how to set up triggering on a transmission queue to start a channel, see the WebSphere MQ Intercommunication manual.

2. For now, the channel must be manually started. Issue the following command:

   START CHANNEL(QM1.TO.QM2)
