Channel Performance for Transmitting Channels workspace

Use the Channel Performance for Transmitting Channels workspace to view performance information related to the transmitting channels in the IBM® MQ (WebSphere® MQ) environment. Based on the information provided, you can make changes to improve performance, set up situations, and verify that changes made are improving performance.

A channel provides a communications link between two queue managers (running on the same or different platforms) and shields application programs from having to deal with the complexities of a network's underlying protocols. A channel consists of a transmission queue, a message channel agent (communications program), and a communications link.
