| You can "PING CHANNEL" from the sender or server ends of a channel pair only. It tests the channel configuration. You can test the network by doing a TCP/IP ping to the server. |

| Also, you can't ping a running channel, only one that hasn't been started. To ensure that a channel is running, display chstatus. |

And realize that inactive is a good status and will not show up when doing dis chs(*).

When I tried to ping a server channel, it gave error message that this invalid. So my question was that can not server channel be pinged?

This command can only be used for channels with a ChannelType value of MQCHT_SENDER, MQCHT_SERVER, or MQCHT_CLUSSDR.
|
So...do you mean SERVER (SVR) or SVRCONN channel? You can ping SVR channels, you can not ping svrconn channels....

It is SVRCONN channel. In my understading until some one ( client applicaiton) makes a request to connect, we do not know whether every thing is running. Am I right? I want to be sure that my setup is correct before the app guy comes and asks me there is a problem.
thanks |

The easist way to find out of a SVRCONN is correct is to try and use it.

OK so check the following:
A) your channel is inactive (does not appear in the dis chs(mychan*) list )
B) the MQ Listener is running on the right port and the right authority (mqm group user)
C) you do have a valid usrid in the SVRCONN MCAUSER or some kind of security exit.
D) you have tried the connection yourself and were able to connect.
Enjoy

If there is, I'm sure it's plainly documented.

amq..conx?, amq*bsgc...
You just have to try to connect using the channel you created.
You can also write your own utility...
Enjoy
