[AIX]

Channel configuration parameters for AIX

The parameters needed to configure the channels for the example configuration on AIX®.

Step 2 of Configuring the channels on AIX describes the configuration to be performed on the AIX queue manager to implement the channel described in Example: setting up cross-platform communication for IBM MQ. The examples in Configuring the channels on AIX are for connecting IBM MQ for IBM i and IBM MQ for Windows. To connect to IBM MQ on another platform, use the values from the appropriate table in place of the values for Windows.

Note: The words in bold are suggested values and reflect the names of IBM MQ objects used throughout these examples. You can change them in your product installation but, if you do, make sure that you use your own values when working through the examples in this section
