Running the example

When you have created the required objects, you must:

• Start the channel initiator for both queue managers
• Start the listener for both queue managers

The applications can then send messages to each other. Because the channels are triggered to start by the arrival of the first message on each transmission queue, you do not need to issue the START CHANNEL MQSC command.

For details about starting a channel initiator see Starting a channel initiator, and for details about starting a listener see Starting a channel listener.

Expanding this example

This example can be expanded by:

• Adding more queue, and channel definitions to allow other applications to send messages between the two queue managers.
• Adding user exit programs on the channels to allow for link encryption, security checking, or additional message processing.
• Using queue manager aliases and reply-to queue aliases to understand more about how these can be used in the organization of your queue manager network.
