Configuring communication links

 

This section tells you how to configure the WebSphere MQ client and server communication links, and how to enable the server to listen for communications from the WebSphere MQ client.

In WebSphere MQ, the logical communication links between objects are called channels. The channels used to connect WebSphere MQ clients to servers are called MQI channels. You set up channel definitions at each end of your link so that your WebSphere MQ application on the WebSphere MQ client can communicate with the queue manager on the server.

Before you define your MQI channels, you need to:

  1. Define the connection at each end of the channel:

    To define the connection, you need to:

    • Configure the connection.
    • Record the values of the parameters that you need for the channel definitions.
    • Enable the server to detect incoming network requests from your WebSphere MQ client. This involves starting a listener.
