Defining a channel

 

To define a channel using the MQSC commands, use DEFINE CHANNEL.

Using the operations and control panels, starting from the initial panel, complete these fields and press Enter:

Field	Value
Action	2 (Define like)
Object type	channel type (for example SENDER) or CHANNEL
Name
Disposition	The location of the new object.

You are presented with some panels to complete with information about the name and attributes you want for the channel you are defining. They are initialized with the default attribute values. Change any you want before pressing Enter.

If you entered CHANNEL in the object type field, you are presented with the Select a Valid Channel Type panel first.

If you want to define a channel with the same attributes as an existing channel, put the name of the channel you want to copy in the Name field on the initial panel. The panels will be initialized with the attributes of the existing object.

For information about the channel attributes, see Channel attributes

1. You are strongly recommended to name all the channels in your network uniquely. As shown in Table 1, including the source and target queue manager names in the channel name is a good way to do this.
