About this task
The channels used to build an outbound chain determine
with which configurations of the
WebSphere MQ queue
manager sender channel so a network connection can be successfully
established. The following table shows all the valid chain configurations
and describes the configuration of a
WebSphere MQ queue manager sender channel
with which they can be used to establish a connection.
Table 1. Valid chain and WebSphere MQ queue
manager sender channel configurations. The first column
of the table provides the WebSphere MQ channels. The second to fourth
columns in the table indicate whether the TCP, SSL, and MQFAP channels
in combination with the WebSphere MQ channel can establish a network
connection successfully. It is important to follow a specific order
of the channels while building the chain. The order of the channels
from left to right as given in the table is TCP, SSL, and MQFAP channels.

For example, an SSL-based chain would consist of a
TCP channel, SSL channel and MQFAP channel. When creating chains,
the order of channels in the chain is important. You must specify
channels in the order (left to right) in which they appear in the
above table.
The example in this topic describes how to create
an outbound chain capable of being used to contact WebSphere MQ queue manager receiver channels
by using SSL-based encryption.
Note: You open
a wsadmin command session from within Qshell. For more information,
