CLWLChannelRank (MQLONG)

This field specifies the cluster workload channel rank.

The workload manager choose algorithm selects a destination with the highest rank. When the final destination is a queue manager on a different cluster, you can set the rank of intermediate gateway queue managers (at the intersection of neighboring clusters) so the choose algorithm correctly chooses a destination queue manager nearer the final destination.

The value is in the range 0 through 9. The default is 0.

This is an input field to the exit. The field is not present if Version is less than MQCD_VERSION_8.
