Configuring channel exits

To call the channel exit, you must name it in the channel definition.

Channel exits must be named in the channel definition. You can do this naming when you first define the channels, or you can add the information later using, for example, the MQSC command ALTER CHANNEL. You can also give the channel exit names in the MQCD channel data structure. The format of the exit name depends on your IBM® MQ platform; see MQCD or Script (MQSC) Commands for information.

If the channel definition does not contain a user-exit program name, the user exit is not called.

The channel auto-definition exit is the property of the queue manager, not the individual channel. In order for this exit to be called, it must be named in the queue manager definition. To alter a queue manager definition, use the MQSC command ALTER QMGR.
