Hi everyone,

I am trying to establish a test connection between two different queue managers but I cant.
I have two different queue manager on two different machine:

1) LOCAL_QM on my local machine
2) VM_QM on the 2003 Server Enterprise Edition on VMWare.

LOCAL_QM has these queues & Channels:
-> FROM.VM (local queue)
-> TO.VM (transmission queue)
-> REMOTE.TO.VM (remote queue)
-> SEND.TO.VM (sender channel)
-> RECEIVE.FROM.VM (receiver channel)

VM_QM has these queues & channel:
-> FROM.LOCAL (local queue)
-> TO.LOCAL (transmission queue)
-> REMOTE.TO.LOCAL (remote queue)
-> SEND.TO.LOCAL (sender channel)
-> RECEIVE.FROM.LOCAL (receiver channel)

both machine are able to ping and telnet each other's port. The listeners for both QMs are also up and running

However, when i click on the sender channel of VM_QM , and 'Start', There will be a message: "The request to start the channel was accepted (AMQ4008)" but the overall channel status will remain as "retrying". After looking at the event viewer, there will be a error msg (ID: 9520):
"Channel not defined remotely
There is no definition of channel 'SEND.TO.LOCAL' at the remote location
Add an appropriate definition to the remote hosts list of defined channels and retry the operation."

After that, when i click on the sender channel of LOCAL_QM , and 'Start', There will be a message: "The request to start the channel was accepted (AMQ4008)" but the overall channel status will start as "Initializing" and then "retrying". The error log will appear on the the VM machine and the message is (ID: 9519):
"Channel SEND.TO.VM not found.
The requested operation failed because the program could not find a definition of channel SEND.TO.VM
Check that the name is specified correctly and the channel definition is available"

Is there anything wrong with the configuration of the VM_QM?

Thank you guys in advance!
