Channel types
A channel is a communication link used by distributed queue managers. There are two categories of channel in MQ: - Message channels, which are unidirectional, and transfer messages from one queue manager to another.
- MQI channels, which are bidirectional, and transfer MQI calls from a MQ client to a queue manager, and responses from a queue manager to a MQ client. There are two types of MQI channel : server-connection and client-connection.
- Sender
- Receiver
- Server
- Requester
- Cluster sender
- Cluster receiver
A message channel is defined using one of these types defined at one end, and a compatible type at the other end. Possible combinations are:
- Sender - Receiver
- Requester - Server
- Requester - Sender (callback)
- Server - Receiver (server is used as a sender)
- Client-connection with Server-connection
- Cluster sender-cluster receiver
