  The MQ pricing announcement on 22 April 2014 makes the
  MQ Client Attachment Feature zero charge.
  This APAR provides an alternative to installing the Client
  Attachment Feature by removing the 5 channel limit and
  restriction on channel names for V7 queue managers.
  After applying this APAR, systems without the Client Attachment
  Feature installed will support clients. You should review
  your existing SVRCONN channel definitions (particularly
  SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN) and CHLAUTH rules to control how these are
  used.
