Setting up communication on UNIX and Linux

DQM is a remote queuing facility for IBM® MQ. It provides channel control programs for the queue manager which form the interface to communication links, controllable by the system operator. The channel definitions held by distributed-queuing management use these connections.

About this task

When a distributed-queuing management channel is started, it tries to use the connection specified in the channel definition. To succeed, it is necessary for the connection to be defined and available. This section explains how to do this.

When setting up communication for IBM MQ on UNIX and Linux, you can choose from the following types of communication:

TCP/IP
LU 6.2

Each channel definition must specify one only as the transmission protocol (Transport Type) attribute. One or more protocols can be used by a queue manager.

For IBM MQ MQI clients, it might be useful to have alternative channels using different transmission protocols. For more information about IBM MQ MQI clients, see Overview of IBM MQ MQI clients.
