[AIX, Linux, Windows]

Running and expanding the example for AIX, Linux, and Windows

Information about starting the channel initiator and listener and suggestions for expanding on this scenario.

About this task

Once these definitions have been created, you need to:
  • Start the channel initiator on each queue manager.
  • Start the listener for each queue manager.

You can also expand the example.

Procedure

  1. Start the channel initiator and listener.
    See Setting up communication for Windows and Setting up communication on AIX® and Linux® systems.
  2. You can expand this example by:
    • The use of LU 6.2 communications for interconnection with CICS® systems, and transaction processing.
    • Adding more queue, process, and channel definitions to allow other applications to send messages between the two queue managers.
    • Adding user-exit programs on the channels to allow for link encryption, security checking, or additional message processing.
    • Using queue manager aliases and reply-to queue aliases to understand more about how these can be used in the organization of your queue manager network.
