Hello wise and gentle folks ...
I am certain yous know how to get messages from a queue on a different queue manager (AIX) then the one I currently use (z/OS) and I am also certain that you will share your wisdom with me ... I know I did this before using QMGR Aliases, but lost the source an for the life of me I cannot remember the details.
Much obliged for your time

You client onto the AIX queue manager and read them from there.
Or you use QALIAS and/or QREMOTE to have them delivered to your queue manager.
You can't get messages from a queue manager you're not connected to.
It's an urban myth you can't connect to a distributed queue manager from z/OS; the restriction runs the other way, and has more to do with how z/OS manages & licences client connections.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking but there is no way to use a QMGR Alias to GET messages from a remote Queue Manager. The traditional way to get messages from a Queue Manager that is on a different machine than the one you are on is to use an MQ Client.
Cheers,
Paul.

There is however a way to get messages on a local queue manager that were originally meant for a different qmgr and that has to do with a qmgr alias... (man in the middle type of interception)

You said [quote="Vitor"]You client onto the AIX queue manager and read them from there. ...
This is what I did:
1 - used MQCONNX instead of MQCONN
2 - added the MQCD-STRUCTURE and filled in values I thought are needed:
MQCD-QMGRNAME <--- the AIX qmgr name
MQCD-CHANNELNAME <--- a working SVRCONN (same name on z/OS and AIX)
MQCD-CONNECTIONNAME <--- what MQExplorer showed incl port#
MQCD-TRANSPORTTYPE = MQXPT-TCP
MQCD-CHANNELTYPE = MQCHT-SVRCONN
3 - Set address MQCNO-CLIENTCONNPTR to the MQCD structure.
4 - Issued CONNX with z/OS queue manager name.
After fumbling through a bunch of 2058s to get all the above right, I did connect successfully and now I am dealing with a new pile of errors on the MQOPEN ...
I reviewed all the steps here for documentation, possibly of use by others ... but your suggestions were valuable and I am much obliged for your time.
