DEFINE QALIAS
Use DEFINE QALIAS to define a new alias queue, and set its parameters.
Note: An alias queue provides a level of indirection to another queue or a topic object. If the alias refers to a queue, it must be another local or remote queue, defined at this queue manager, or a clustered alias queue defined on another queue manager. It cannot be another alias queue on this queue manager. If the alias refers to a topic, it must be a topic object defined at this queue manager.
Synonym: DEF QA
Values shown above the main line in the railroad diagram are the defaults supplied with IBM® MQ, but your installation might have changed them. See Syntax diagrams.
DEFINE QALIAS
Notes:
- 1 Valid only on z/OS®.
- 2 Valid only on z/OS when the queue manager is a member of a queue sharing group.
- 3 Valid only on UNIX, Linux®, and Windows.
- 4 Not valid on z/OS.
- 5 The TARGQ parameter, defined in
IBM WebSphere® MQ 6.0, is renamed to TARGET from version 7.0 and
generalized to allow you to specify the name of either a queue or a topic. The default value for
TARGET is a queue, therefore
TARGET(my_queue_name)
is the same asTARGQ(my_queue_name)
. The TARGQ attribute is retained for compatibility with your existing programs.
