Deciding on a connection

There are four forms of communication for WebSphere MQ on Compaq OpenVMS Alpha systems:

• TCP
• LU 6.2
• DECnet Phase IV
• DECnet Phase V

Each channel definition must specify one only as the transmission protocol (Transport Type) attribute. One or more protocols may be used by a queue manager.

For WebSphere MQ clients, it may be useful to have alternative channels using different transmission protocols. See the WebSphere MQ Clients book.
