Step 1. Configure Channels for Queue Managers

Step 1. Configure Channels for Queue Managers

If the WebSphere MQ system does not have a client-connection channel, configure a channel for each queue manager you want to connect to. WebSphere MQ does not allow you to connect to multiple queue managers in a session.
WebSphere MQ creates server-connection channels to connect to WebSphere MQ. When you configure PowerExchange for WebSphere MQ, you do not need to configure a server-connection channel unless the WebSphere MQ administrator has changed the default settings for server-connection channels in the queue manager. For more information about configuring a server-connection channel, see the WebSphere MQ documentation.
For more information about Websphere MQ client connectivity to Websphere MQ server or channel, contact IBM technical support.
To create a client-connection channel:
  1. From the command prompt on the machine running the PowerCenter Integration Service process, enter the following command to start WebSphere MQ commands: 
    runmqsc <queue manager name>
  2. Enter the following command to create the client-connection channel: 
    DEFINE CHANNEL (<channel_name>) CHLTYPE (<channel_type>) 
CONNAME (<WebSphere MQ_server_IP_address>) QMNAME (<queue_manager_name>)
    The following table describes the command parameters for defining the client-connection channel:
    Option
    Required/Optional
    Argument
    Description
    DEFINE CHANNEL

    channel_name

    Enter CLNTCONN.
    CONNAME

    WebSphere MQ_server_IP_address
    IP address of the machine hosting the WebSphere MQ server.
    QMNAME
    Required
    queue_manager_name
    Queue manager name.
    A message appears stating the channel was successfully created.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each queue manager you want the PowerCenter Integration Service to connect to.
