Channel configuration

This section details the configuration to be performed on the i5/OS queue manager to implement the channel described in Figure 32.

Examples are given for connecting WebSphere MQ for iSeries and WebSphere MQ for Windows. If you wish connect to WebSphere MQ on another platform, use the appropriate values from the table in place of those for Windows

Notes:
  1. The words in bold are user-specified and reflect the names of WebSphere MQ objects used throughout these examples. If you change the names used here, ensure that you also change the other references made to these objects throughout this book. All others are keywords and should be entered as shown.
  2. The WebSphere MQ channel ping command (PNGMQMCHL) runs interactively, whereas starting a channel causes a batch job to be submitted. If a channel ping completes successfully but the channel will not start, this indicates that the network and WebSphere MQ definitions are probably correct, but that the i5/OS environment for the batch job is not. For example, make sure that QSYS2 is included in the system portion of the library list and not just your personal library list.

For details and examples of how to create the objects listed refer to Defining a queue and Defining a channel.
