ConnectionName (MQCHAR264)
This field specifies the connection name for the channel.
For cluster-receiver channels (when specified) CONNAME relates to the local queue manager, and for other channels it relates to the target queue manager. The value you specify depends on the transmission protocol (
TransportType) to be used:- For MQXPT_LU62, it is the fully-qualified name of the partner Logical Unit.
- For MQXPT_NETBIOS, it is the NetBIOS name defined on the remote machine.
- For MQXPT_TCP, it is either the host name, the network address of the remote machine specified in IPv4 dotted decimal or IPv6 hexadecimal format, or the local machine for cluster-receiver channels.
- For MQXPT_SPX, it is an SPX-style address comprising a 4 byte network address, a 6 byte node address, and a 2 byte socket number.
When defining a channel, this field is not relevant for channels with a ChannelType of MQCHT_SVRCONN or MQCHT_RECEIVER. However, when the channel definition is passed to an exit, this field contains the address of the partner, whatever the channel type.
The length of this field is given by MQ_CONN_NAME_LENGTH. This field is not present if Version is less than MQCD_VERSION_2.
