Is the channel running?

To determine whether a channel is running and processing this transmission queue, check the status of the channel by doing the following:

1. Issue the following command to find out which channel is supposed to be processing the transmission queue QM2:

   DIS CHANNEL(*) WHERE(XMITQ EQ QM2)

   In this example, the output of this command shows that the channel servicing the transmission queue is QM1.TO.QM2.

2. Issue the following command to determine the status of the channel, QM1.TO.QM2:

   DIS CHSTATUS(QM1.TO.QM2) ALL

3. Look at the STATUS field of the output.

   • If the value of the STATUS field is

     RUNNING, see Is the channel moving messages?.

   • If the value of the STATUS field is not

     RUNNING, see one of the following:

     • If the channel has stopped

     • If the channel is inactive

     • If the channel is in retry state

     • If the channel in another state
