Messaging service

The parameters in the MESSAGING section of the file allow InterChange Server to set up a client relationship with the messaging service. All of these parameters must be present in the configuration file.

MESSAGING_TYPE

Required

Specifies the messaging product in use. The value can be IDL or MQSERIES.

Example: MESSAGING_TYPE = MQSERIES

Default

MESSAGING_TYPE = MQSERIES

PORT

Specifies the port numbers needed for multiple WebSphere MQ managers.

Default Port = 1414.

QUEUE_MANAGER

Required

Specifies the WebSphere MQ queue manager that this InterChange Server uses to send and receive messages. This parameter is not required if you are using InterChange Server internal messaging capabilities.

Example: QUEUE_MANAGER = MY.QUEUE.MANAGER

Default

There is no default value for this parameter.

HOST_NAME

Required

Names the computer on which the WebSphere MQ queue manager is running.

Example: HOST_NAME = SWIP

Default

There is no default value for this parameter.

CLIENT_CHANNEL

Required

Specifies the logical connection over which the WebSphere MQ client interacts with the queue manager. If you are first installing WebSphere MQ for use with InterChange Server, leave the value at CHANNEL1. If you are already using WebSphere MQ and Channel 1 is in use, assign an unused channel number.

You must create and define the channel number in WebSphere MQ.

Example: CLIENT_CHANNEL = CHANNEL2

Default

CLIENT_CHANNEL = CHANNEL1
