Confusion with ACTCHL, MAXCHL, MAXCHANNELS and MAXACTIVECHANNELS from WMQ


i'm kind of confused with the relationship among ACTCHL, MAXCHL, MAXCHANNELS and MAXACTIVECHANNELS. Is property ACTCHL same with MAXACTIVECHANNELS, and MAXCHL with MAXCHANNELS? In addition, what's the default value for them? i can see either 100 or 200, not sure which one is correct.

Thanks

i just find ACTCL and MAXCHL are for z/OS, but MAXCHANNELS and MAXACTIVECHANNELS are for open system. It's clear. However, please help answer the default value question.


Solution

  • Oddly enough, the best reference for these is in the WMQ Explorer manual rather than the WMQ manual. The tables in the Queue Manager Properties topic list the settings, their default values and in some cases the relationship between them. When you get there use your browser search for the specific attributes (i.e. MAXACTIVECHANNELS) because the tales are organized based on tabs in WMQ Explorer rather than strict alphabetical sequence.
