Setting up communication on Windows

When a distributed-queuing management channel is started, it tries to use the connection specified in the channel definition. For this to succeed, the connection must be defined and available. This section explains how to do this by using the forms of communication available for IBM® MQ for Windows systems.

Before you begin

You might find it helpful to refer to Example configuration - IBM MQ for Windows.

[Continuous Delivery] [IBM MQ Advanced] [V9.1.4 Dec 2019] A message channel using TCP/IP can be pointed at an IBM Aspera fasp.io Gateway, which provides a fast TCP/IP tunnel that can significantly increase network throughput. A queue manager running on any entitled CD platform can connect through an Aspera gateway. The gateway itself is deployed on Red Hat® or Ubuntu Linux®. See Defining an Aspera gateway connection on Linux.
