Communicating Between Systems - Starting up Channels And Listeners

You must set up communications between the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server (functioning on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server) and the third-party IBM WebSphere MQ server. This section provides example tasks 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, when you start the sender on the local machine, the receiver on the remote machine should automatically start.

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

On the third-party IBM WebSphere MQ server:

At a DOS prompt, enter this command to start the Queue Manager:
STRMQM ECE_MQI_QMGR
At the same 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 manager name.

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

On the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server:

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

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

In order to issue the start channel command on the non-JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server, you must be in the WebSphere MQ command mode.

On the non-JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server:

From the IBM WebSphere MQ command mode, enter this command at the same DOS prompt you used to start the queue manager:
RUNMQSC ECE_MQI_QMGR
Note: ECE_MQI_QMGR is the third-party queue manager name.
Enter these commands to start the WebSphere MQ to EnterpriseOne channels:
```
START CHANNEL(MQI2OW_CHL)
START CHANNEL(OW2MQI_CHL)
```
Enter this command to exit the WebSphere MQ command mode:
END

To start the channel on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ servers:

In order to issue the start channel command on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server, you must be in the WebSphere MQ command mode.

On the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM WebSphere MQ server:

From the IBM WebSphere MQ command mode, enter this command at the same DOS prompt you used to start the queue manager:
RUNMQSC JDE_QMGR
Enter these commands to start the IBM WebSphere MQ to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne channels:
```
START CHANNEL(OW2MQI_CHL)
START CHANNEL(MQI2OW_CHL)
```
Enter this command to exit the WebSphere MQ command mode:
END
