Establishing a TCP connection

1. Edit the file /etc/services.

   Note:

   To edit the /etc/services file, you must be logged in as a superuser or root. If you do not have the following line in that file, add it as shown:

   MQSeries       1414/tcp      # MQSeries channel listener
   

2. Edit the file /etc/inetd.conf. If you do not have the following line in that file, add it as shown:

   MQSeries stream tcp nowait root /opt/mqm/bin/amqcrsta amqcrsta
   [-m queue.manager.name]
   

3. Find the process ID of the inetd with the command:

   ps -ef | grep inetd
   

4. Run the command:

   kill -1 inetd processid
   

What next?

Inetd is now ready to listen for incoming requests and pass them to WebSphere MQ. You are ready to complete the configuration as described in the next section.
