Hi,
I am trying to find the best way to create/edit the client-channel-table.
One way that works fine is to create all of the channels that I need on some random QMGR and then copying the AMQCLCHL.TAB file to my MQ-client-machine - but it's very ugly way to work.
Is there another way to do it?
I mean to somehow create the table on the client side without needing to use any server side.
As far as I understood the TAB file is a binary code, and its different between MQ versions,
there's a way to read this file, using some code, is anyone know what's the format of this file?
or it's an IBM-top-secret? 
Thanks in advance. |

And yet many sites do exactly that & feel content. I've known clients who don't have "some random queue manager" but have "the specific queue manager that creates CCDTs".

Yes. There's a support pac.

It's as top-secret as the rest of IBM's intellectual property. Given that it can change without warning between versions any roll your own code to read it could stop working without warning.
Also editing it outside of the IBM supported methods would leave you (unsurprisingly) unsupported if it goes wrong.

MO72. The rest of the expansion is in the PDF that comes with it.

Use MO72, this can also be directed to build the CCDT at any level. I keep mine at v6 until every client is upgraded to v7 (they are upward but not downward compatible).
I keep the "source" as MQSC commands, then use MO72 to produce a fresh copy of the CCDT when anything is changed. You might want to version control the source. |

Thanks to you both!
I downloaded the support pac and I find it very useful for my needs!
