| It's almost as if the difference in the case of the name makes a difference in the name of the channel. |

A really good convention to follow with WMQ Objects is to make them ALL UPPERCASE.
If you insist in using mixed case you will end up with problems on some platforms.
So, standardise on UPPERCASE and you won't go far wrong.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

I agree that the problem will be one of case. Almost undoubtedly the problem is that you didn't surround the channel name with quotes. MQSC will upper-case anything that is not included in quotes. Don't aks me why, I've never truly understood it. So, try the command....
start channel ('QM1toQM2')
Cheers,
Paul.

If QM1toQM2 was chosen over QM1TOQM2 because QM1toQM2 was easier to read, try using QM1.TO.QM2 instead. Stick with UPPER case for naming all MQ objects and you will save hours of wasted time in your MQ career, guaranteed.

Ya know...
Channels have a length limit of 20 characters. The "to" part of the name does not really convey much additional information as the first QmgrName should always mean "the from Qmgr" and the second QmgrName should always mean "the to Qmgr". When you add the "." that gives you 19 characters to work with which cannot be divided evenly so Qmgr names should only be 9 characters long (and upper case) for ease of use. This is fine for point to point channels.
For cluster channels if you name them "ClusterName.QmgrName" (where the QmgrName is always "the to Qmgr"), you will never have a channel that spans multiple clusters providing a much clearer environment. So, keep your cluster names to 9 characters just like your QmgrNames.
Keep your life as simple as possible and you will be much happier.
<RANT>I find it very irritating when folks feel compelled to add "QM" to QmgrNames. It is as if we don't know a Qmgr is a Qmgr without that in the name. I'm sure it is just a hangover from the examples that use QM in their names (but that is for demonstration purposes).</RANT>
Only put meaningful information in object names. Like, P for production (which would seem so important to know you would make it the first thing you see). |

My pet peev is a queue naming convention which names local queues as QLOCAL.SOMETHING, remote queues as QREMOTE.SOMETHING & alias queues as QALIAS.SOMETHING. Not only can you tell easily what a queue is, what happens when you need to move a queue to a remote location for good & sufficient reason?
