Creating an alias queue

Use an alias queue object to access another queue on the local queue manager. Any messages put on the alias queue are redirected to the queue named in the alias queue definition.

Note:
An alias queue cannot hold messages itself.

To create an alias queue:

  1. Type CRTMQMQ on the command line and press the F4 key.
  2. Type the queue name in the Queue name field.
  3. Type *ALS in the Queue type field.
  4. Type the name of the local queue manager in the Queue Manager Name field.
  5. Type the name of the local queue that you want the queue name to resolve to in the Target queue field.
