Remote queue definitions

Remote queue definitions are definitions for queues that are owned by another queue manager.

Whereas applications can retrieve messages only from local queues, they can put messages on local queues or remote queues. Therefore, as well as a definition for each of its local queues, a queue manager can have remote queue definitions. The advantage of remote queue definitions is that they enable an application to put a message to a remote queue without having to specify the name of the remote queue or the remote queue manager, or the name of the transmission queue. Remote queue definitions give you location independence.

There are other uses for remote queue definitions, which are described later.
