Getting started with objects

Channels must be defined, and their associated objects must exist and be available for use, before a channel can be started. This section shows you how.

Use the IBM® MQ commands (MQSC) or the IBM MQ Explorer to:

Define message channels and associated objects
Monitor and control message channels

The associated objects you might need to define are:

Transmission queues
Remote queue definitions
Queue manager alias definitions
Reply-to queue alias definitions
Reply-to local queues
Processes for triggering (MCAs)
Message channel definitions

The particular communication link for each channel must be defined and available before a channel can be run. For a description of how LU 6.2, TCP/IP, NetBIOS, SPX, and DECnet links are defined, see the particular communication guide for your installation. See also Example configuration information.
