Background to MQSeries
Programs in the MQSeries application suite can be running on different computers, on different operating systems, and at different locations. The applications are written using a common programming interface known as the Message Queue Interface (MQI), so that applications developed on one platform can be ported to others.
Figure 14-1 shows two applications communicate using messages and queues; one application puts a message on a queue, and the other application gets that message from the queue.
Queue Managers
In MQSeries, queues are managed by a component called a queue manager. The queue manager provides messaging services for the applications and processes the MQI calls they issue. The queue manager ensures that messages are put on the correct queue or that they are routed to another queue manager.
