=== Identifying a Queue in the MQI ===
1. A Queue is identified by :
　- The name of the Queue.
　- The name of the Queue Manager which owns the Queue.
2. A Queue may be referenced in two places :
　- Object descriptor, on an MQOPEN or MQPUT1 call.
　　a. ObjectName
　　b. ObjectQMgrName
　- Message descriptor, to specify a reply-to Queue.
　　a. ReplyToQ
　　b. ReplyToQMgr
3. In an object descriptor, if ObjectQMgrName is blank, the Queue with the
　name specified in ObjectName must be defined in one of the following places :
　- The Local Queue Manager.
　- The name service.


=== Assured Delivery ===
1. Whether an application is putting a message on a Local Queue or to a Remote Queue
　is transparent to the applcation.
2. However, an application always gets a message from a Local Queue.




=== Queue Definitions for Distributed Queuing ===
1. Local definition of a Remote Queue (Remote Local Queue) :
　　DEFINE QREMOTE(BBB) RNAME(YYY) RQMNAME(QM2)
2. A Transmission Queue must be created at the SENDing end of each message channel :
　- USAGE(XMITQ) indicates its purpose.
　- Otherwise, it may have any of the attributes of a Local Queue.
　　DEFINE QLOCAL(QM2) USAGE(XMITQ)
3. As usual, give a Transmission Queue the same name as the Remote Queue Manager.
(只有SENDER端有XMIQ，且通常命名為要傳送那端的QM)

※ 所以想要建立一個 Remote Queue ，必須提供：
1. RQ Name
2. Remote Local Q Name
3. Remote QM Name
4. XMITQ

※ 對應的 Channel :
1. CHLTYPE - Channel Type
2. (SDR) Connection Name
3. XMITQ (與上面的XMIT串接)


=== Message Channel combinations ===
1. A sender can initiate a communications connection with a receiver and then sned message to it. This is the most common combination. A fully defined server may also perform the same role as a sender in this combination.
　QM1 [ SENDER (SERVER) ] → 開connection → [RECEIVER] QM2
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　↘→ 送 messages →↗
2. A requester can initiate a communications connection with a server which then sends messages to the same requester.　
　QM1 [ REQUESTER ] → 開connection(REQ) → [SERVER (channel) ]
　　　　　　　　　↖←←←←← 送messages ←←←←←↙
3. A requester can initiate a communications connection with a sender which promptly terminates the connection. The sender then starts a communications connection according to the information in its Channel definition and sends messages to the partner it has started. This combination is know as callback.
　QM1 [REQUESTER ] → (REQ) → [ SENDER ]
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　↙
　　　QM3 [RECEIVER] ←Callback←↙


※ 與Client Channel不同點 : SVRCONN, 是client的方式連上.


=== Attributes of a Message Channel ===
1. Required for definition :
　- Channel-Name　　　(Up to 20 characters)
　- CHLTYPE　　　　　SDR, RCVR, SVR, RQSTR, SVRCONN
　- TRTYPE　　　　　　DESNET, LU62, NETBIOS, SPX, TCP(default)
　- CONNAME(string)　　(for SDR and RQSTR only, optional for SVR)
　- XMITQ(string)　　　　(for SDR and SVR only)

※ TRTYPE 預設為 TCP，可省略.
※ CONNAME('127.0.0.1(1414)') 或 CONNAME(host) 亦可,預設 1414 port

2.Required for SNA LU6.2 :
　- MODENAME(string)
　- TPNAME(string)

※ The WebSphere MQ command to define a message channel at one end is :
　- DEFINE CHANNEL
　- ALTER CHANNEL
　- DISPLAY CHANNEL
　- DELETE CHANNEL

※ Attribute not supplied on the DEFINE CHANNEL command are taken from the appropriate default channel object.
　- SYSTEM.DEF.SENDER
　- SYSTEM.DEF.RECEIVER
　- SYSTEM.DEF.SERVER
　- SYSTEM.DEF.REQUESTER


=== DEFINE CHANNEL Example ===
[ QMAA ]
S.1　DEF CHL('QMA_QMB') CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) +
　　　CONNAME(host1) XMITQ('QMB')

S.2　DEF QL(QMB) USAGE(XMITQ)

S.3　DEF CHL('QMB_QMA') CHLTYPE(RCVR) TRTYPE(TCP)
--- --- --- --- --- ---
[ QMBB ]
R.1　DEF CHL('QMA_QMB') CHLTYPE(RCVR) TRPTYPE(TCP)

R.3　DEF CHL('QMB_QMA') CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) +
　　　CONNAME(host2) XMITQ('QMA')

R.4　DEF QL('QMA') USAGE(XMITQ)
--- --- --- --- --- ---


=== Choosing a Transmission Queue ===
1. A Local definition of a Remote Queue can specify :
　　DEFINE QREMOTE(BBB) RNAME(YYY) RQMNAME(QM2) XMITQ('Express')
2. The name of the Transmission Queue is inferred from the name of the Remote Queue Manager.
3. A default Transmission Queue can be specified by an attribute of the Queue Manager object.
　　ALTER QMGR DEFXMITQ(HOST)
4. Error - the MQOPEN fails.


=== Configuring TCP/IP for WebSphereMQ ===
1. [UNIX/Linux] configure the inet daemon, inetd,...
　- /etc/services :
　　MQSeries 1414/tcp　　　　　　# MQSeries Channel Listener
　- /etc/inetd.conf
　　WebSphereMQ stream tcp nowait root /usr/mqm/bin/amqcrsta amqcrsta -m QM
　　or
　　WebSphereMQ stream tcp nowait mqm /opt/mqm/bin/amqcrsta amqcrsta -m QM

　※ The inet daemon then has to be refreshed.
　　- AIX issue # refresh -s inetd
　　- HP-UX issue # inetd -c

2. may use the WebSphereMQ Listener, runmqlsr

　※ The WebSphereMQ command START LISTENER can also be used to start the Listener.
　　　On iSeries, UNIX Systems and Windows, this command is valid for CHANNELs
　　　for which TRTYPE is TCP.


=== Starting a Message Channel ===
1. WebSphereMQ commands :
　- PING CHANNEL(QMA_QMB)
　- START CHANNEL(QMA_QMB)
2. Control command :
　- # runmqchl -c QMA_QMB
3. Channel attributes compared :
　- BATCHSZ　　　(default=50, 若兩邊channel大小不同,以小的為準)
　- MAXMSGL　　　(也是以小的為準)
　- SEQWRAP　　　(counter, default=999999999, 必須一致)
　- HBINT　　　　　(HeatBeat interval)
　- NPMSPEED　　(Non-Persistence, Fast or Normal)

※ If the SEQWRAP value on a SENDER CHANNEL is different from the value on the RECEIVER,
　　what will happen ?　=> The CHANNEL will not start.
※ NPMSPEED(FAST) is a parameter on a CHANNEL that causes the message CHANNEL agent to use
　　MQGMO_SYNCPOINT_IF_PERSISTENT
※ CURSEQNO(3)必須一致,但有時不Sync,就必須RESET CHANNEL,清為0
※ INDOUBT(NO)為正常,若為YES,就必須RESOLVE CHANNEL( ) ACTION COMMIT 或 BACKOUT
※ A sender CHANNEL is defined in a script file with REPLACE.
　　The runmqsc control command is run using this script while the CHANNEL is active.
　　=> The CHANNEL will fail and won't restart without intervention.


=== CHANNEL Initiator === (此為舊的機制)
The CHANNEL Initiator is a special trigger monitor for starting a message channel. It also contains retry logic for use in case of difficulty in starting a channel or after an error on a channel.
1. START CHINIT INITQ('Channel.InitQ')
　Trigger monitor for Trainsmission Queues :
　　- Starts an MCA at the sending end of a message channel.
　　- UserData attribute of the process object specifies the Channel name.
　　- Or, TrigData attribute of the Transmission queue specifies the channel name.
2. Also a control command :
　# runmqchi -q Channel.InitQ
3. Channel control parameters :
　- DISCINT　(SDR and SVR)
　　(Max time to wait for a message on the Transmission Queue, if it is empty.
　　If no message arrives whin this time, the channel closes down.)
　- SHORTRTY, SHORTTMR　(SDR and SVR)
　　(Short retry count and shot retry time interval to control repeated attempts to
　　establish a communications connection.)
　- LONGRTY, LONGTMR　(SDR and SVR)
　- MRRTY, MRTMR　(RCVR and RQSTR)
　　(Message-retry count and message-retry interval when attempting to
　　put a message on a distination queue.
　　If every attempt fails, the MCA decides that it cannot deliver the message.)
　- MCATYPE　(SDR, SVR and RQSTR)
　　(The value of this parameter may be THREAD or PROCESS.
　　If THREAD is specified, each channel runs a thread within the CHANNEL Initiator process.
　　If PROCESS is specified, each channel runs as a separate process.)
　- BATCHINT　(SDR and SVR)
　　(The period of time during which a channel will keep a batch open
　　if there are no messages on the Transmission Queue.
　　This should be set to a value considerably less than the value of DISCINT)


=== Channel Status ===
1. The current state of a channel can be determined by using the WebSphereMQ command :
　DISPLAY CHSTATUS


=== Queue Manager Alias ===
1. A Default Transmission Queue allows a message to be delivered through multiple Queue Managers
　[QMC] ←→　□□□□□□　　　 □□□□□□ 　←→ [QME]
　　　　　　 　□　QMA　□ ←→ □　QMB　□
　[QMD] ←→　□□□□□□　　　 □□□□□□　←→ [QMF]

2. A Queue Manager Alias may also be needed :
　- for example, in QMA :
　　DEFINE QREMOTE(QMF) RQMNAME(QMF) XMITQ(QMB)

※ Multi-Hopping :
　- 可克服 firewall 限制考量.
　- 可克服轉碼問題　->[819]--->RCVR channel[1208 ]SDR channel--->[950]->


=== Separating Message Flows ===

1. Local Def. of Remote Q :
　DEF QR(QR.SERV) RNAME(QSERVE) RQMNAME(QM2) XMITQ(QM2A)
2. Reply_to_Q Alias :
　DEF QR(QR.REPLY) RNAME(QL.REPLY) RQMNAME(QM1)
3. QM alias (Reply Msg) :
　DEF QR(QM1A) RQMNAME(QM1)
