Shared channel configuration

The following sections detail the configuration to be performed on the z/OS queue manager to implement the channel described in Figure 32.

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

Note:
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.
