Creating a Channel

This section describes the procedure to create a channel to link instances. A channel is a logical two-way communication path between two Siebel installations for publishing and receiving data. Two instances sharing global data must have the same channel defined with the same name.

To create a channel

1. Navigate to the Channels view.

   The Channels List applet appears.

2. Create a new record.
3. Fill out the form as appropriate.

   If there is a channel defined between two instances A and B, the Publish-to Queue field for instance A should be the same as the Receive-from Queue field for instance B. Likewise, the Publish-to System for instance A should be the same as Receive-from System on instance B.

   • If you are using the MQSeries Server Transport, the name of the Queue Manager residing on the same machine as siebsrvr is Publish-to System. Publish-to Queue is the name of the Remote queue defined in that Queue Manager.
   • If you are using MSMQ Transport, the machine name where the target queue is located is Publish-to System. Publish-to Queue is the name of the target queue.
4. Click Save.
5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 7 to add as many channels as you need.
