Setting up communication for z/OS

When a distributed-queuing management channel is started, it tries to use the connection specified in the channel definition. To succeed, it is necessary for the connection to be defined and available. This section explains how to define a connection.

DQM is a remote queuing facility for IBM® MQ. It provides channel control programs for the queue manager that form the interface to communication links. These links are controllable by the system operator. The channel definitions held by distributed queuing management use these connections.

Choose from one of the two forms of communication protocol that can be used for z/OS®:

Each channel definition must specify only one protocol as the transmission protocol (Transport Type) attribute. A queue manager can use more than one protocol to communicate.
