Required parameters (Change, Create Channel)

ChannelName (MQCFST)
Channel name (parameter identifier: MQCACH_CHANNEL_NAME).

Specifies the name of the channel definition to be changed, or created

The maximum length of the string is MQ_CHANNEL_NAME_LENGTH.

This parameter is required on all types of channel; on a CLUSSDR it can be different from on the other channel types. If your convention for naming channels includes the name of the queue manager, you can make a CLUSSDR definition using the +QMNAME+ construction, and WebSphere MQ substitutes the correct repository queue manager name in place of +QMNAME+. This facility applies to AIX, HP-UX, Linux, i5/OS, Solaris, and Windows only. See WebSphere MQ Queue Manager Clusters for more details.
