Automatic definition of channels

You enable automatic definition of receiver and server-connection definitions by updating the queue manager object using the MQSC command, ALTER QMGR (or the PCF command Change Queue Manager).

If IBM® MQ receives an inbound attach request and cannot find an appropriate receiver or server-connection channel, it creates a channel automatically. Automatic definitions are based on two default definitions supplied with IBM MQ: SYSTEM.AUTO.RECEIVER and SYSTEM.AUTO.SVRCONN.

For more information about creating channel definitions automatically, see Preparing channels. For information about automatically defining channels for clusters, see Working with auto-defined channels.
