Automating a requester channel

[Lethal Possum]

Hello,

I need my local MQ server to retrieve messages from a remote MQ server
using a requester channel. I am trying to setup that channel so that
it requests new messages automatically at given intervals. I cannot
find that option in MQ's documentation. Did I miss something? Is it
something that need to be done by a piece of software? Does anyone
already had the same problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Tom

There is no feature in MQ that allows channels to be started at
regular intervals.

You need some external application driven mechanism to start the
channel at the required times.
It can be done by issuing the START CHANNEL command or putting a
correctly formatted trigger message on SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ, assuming
you have a channel initator running and waiting on that queue, or
putting a correctly formatted PCF message containing the START CHANNEL
command to the command server input queue.

HTH,

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for your answer. I have made a scheduled task on my server and
it works fine. I just didn't want to go that way if there was a way to
do it in MQ directly.

Cheers,

Tom
