Dave, That kind of implies you can't start a RQSTR/SVR pair from either side. Is that what you were saying? Because we have a few SVRs and I can start them up on the sending or receiving side just fine.

Rob Sent: 19 February 2004 17:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Automatic Channel Restart Slight clarification here...the RQSTR is intended to start *either* a SVR or a SDR channel. The difference between a SVR and a SDR is not whether they can be started remotely, but what they do when the RQSTR is not the same QMgr as provided in the SDR/SVR CONNAME. A SDR will always try to connect to the QMgr in it's CONNAME whereas a SVR will try to connect to the IP address and port of the RQSTR that called it. If a SVR is used simply because there is a RQSTR on the other side, and without understanding the difference, it may result in an unintended security exposure. In the absence of a security exit or SSL, anyone who knows the name of a SVR can create a RQSTR to start it and divert it to any arbitrary address. On the other hand, attempting the same thing with a SDR results in the SDR starting to it's intended destination. -- T.Rob Instructions for managing your mailing list subscription are provided in the Listserv General Users Guide available at http://www.lsoft.com Archive: http://vm.akh-wien.ac.at/MQSeries.archive
