This is the communications connection identifier. It specifies the particular communications link to be used by this channel.
It is optional for server channels, unless the server channel is triggered, in which case it MUST specify a connection name.
The name is up to 48 characters for z/OS, 264 characters for other platforms, and:
If you use an IPV6 address in a network that only supports IPV4, the connection name will not be resolved. In a network which uses both IPV4 and IPV6, Connection name interacts with Local Address to determine which IP stack is used. See Local Address (LOCLADDR) for further information.
On z/OS there are two forms in which to specify the value:
The logical unit information for the queue manager, comprising the logical unit name, TP name, and optional mode name. This can be specified in one of 3 forms:
luname, for example IGY12355
luname/TPname, for example IGY12345/APING
luname/TPname/modename, for example IGY12345/APINGD/#INTER
For the first form, the TP name and mode name must be specified for the TPNAME and MODENAME attributes ; otherwise these attributes must be blank.
The symbolic destination name for the logical unit information for the queue manager, as defined in the side information data set. The TPNAME and MODENAME attributes must be blank.
The specified or implied LU name can be that of a VTAM(R) generic resources group.
CONNAME('0a0b0c0d.804abcde23a1(5e86)')
If the socket number is omitted, the default WebSphere MQ SPX socket number is used. The default is X'5E86'.
This attribute is valid for channel types of:
It is optional for server channels, unless the server channel is triggered, in which case it MUST specify a connection name.
