Communicating Between Systems - Starting Up Channels And Listeners

You must set up communications between the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server and the third-party system. This section provides examples for setting up communications. The example communications setup uses these sequenced and machine-dependent steps:

Start the Queue Manager on the third-party IBM WebSphere MQ server.
Start the Queue Manager on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ Server.
Start the channel on the third-party IBM WebSphere MQ Server.
Start the channel on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ Server.

Note: The first time you start your communications channels, you might need to manually start the sender channel on the local machine and then manually start the receiver channel on the remote machine. After the initial start of the channels, the receiver on the remote machine should automatically start when you start the sender on the local machine.

To start the queue manager on the third-party WebSphere MQ server

Access the third-party WebSphere MQ server.

At a DOS prompt, enter this command to start the Queue Manager:
```
STRMQM MQMNAME(ECE_MQI_QMGR)
```
At the DOS prompt, enter this command to start the listener:
```
start/min runmqlsr -m ECE_MQI_QMGR -t TCP
```
This action creates a minimized DOS prompt window. Do not close this window.

Note: ECE_MQI_QMGR is the third-party queue manage name.

To start the queue manager on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server

Access the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server.

Enter this command to start the Queue Manager:
```
STRMQM MQMNAME(JDE_QMGR)
```
Enter this command to start the listener:
```
STRMQMLSR
```

To start the channel on the third-party WebSphere MQ server

Access the third-party IBM WebSphere MQ server, and enter this command at the DOS prompt:

START CHANNEL(MQI2OW_CHL)

To start the channel on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server

Access the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server, and enter this command:

STRMQMCHL CHLNAME(OW2MQI_CHL)

Alternately, you can create and run a CL script:

RUNMQSC ECE_MQI_QMGR
START CHANNEL(MQI2OW_CHL)
/*START CHANNEL(OW2MQI_CHL)*/
END

Note: ECE_MQI_QMGR is the third-party queue manager name.
