There are different types of channel programs (MCAs) available for use at
the channels. The names are shown in the following tables.
Table 10. Channel programs for OS/2 and Windows systems
| Program name | Direction of connection | Communication |
|---|---|---|
| RUNMQLSR | Inbound | Any |
| ENDMQLSR |
| Any |
| AMQCRS6A | Inbound | LU 6.2 |
| AMQCRSTA | Inbound | TCP |
| RUNMQCHL | Outbound | Any |
| RUNMQCHI | Outbound | Any |
Table 11. Channel programs for UNIX systems, Compaq OpenVMS Alpha, and Compaq NonStop Kernel
| Program name | Direction of connection | Communication |
|---|---|---|
| amqcrs6a (MQLU6RES on Compaq NonStop Kernel only) | Inbound | LU 6.2 |
| amqcrsta (MQTCPRES (on Compaq NonStop Kernel only) | Inbound | TCP
and DECnet for Compaq OpenVMS Alpha |
| runmqchl | Outbound | TCP for UNIX systems |
| runmqlsr | Inbound | LU 6.2 for Compaq OpenVMS Alpha and Compaq NonStop Kernel and TCP for UNIX systems |
| runmqchi | Outbound | Any |
RUNMQLSR (Run WebSphere MQ listener), ENDMQLSR (End WebSphere MQ listener), and RUNMQCHL (Run WebSphere MQ channel) are control commands that you can enter at the command line. AMQCRS6A and AMQCRSTA are programs that, if you are using SNA, you define as transaction programs, or, if you are using TCP, you define in the INETD.LST file for OS/2 or Windows systems or the inetd.conf file for UNIX systems. Examples of the use of these channel programs are given in the following chapters.
