Create the distributed queue manager topology

Point-to-point messaging is the simplest form of messaging in IBM MQ . In point-to-point messaging, the sending application must know certain information about the receiving application before messages can be sent. The sending application will require a way to address the remote queue. Use point-to-point messaging to send a message to a second queue manager with a sample application.

Before starting

Create the target queue manager on a remote host. Use the sample applications to verify communication between the source and target queue managers.

1. Create the queue manager
   Create an IBM MQ queue manager to receive messages from the remote queue manager.
2. Create the queue
   Create the local queue that is used to receive messages on the target queue manager, and the listener that accepts the inbound channel connection.
3. Create the receiver channel
   Create the receiver channel for the target queue manager to enable communication between the source and target queue managers.
4. Starting the sender channel
   Start the sender channel on the source queue manager, the receiver channel on the target queue manager is also started. Messages can be sent from the source queue manager to the target queue manager.
