Point-to-point scenario

Connect two IBM MQ queue managers in a point-to-point topology to enable distributed queuing.

Create two queue managers and the appropriate queues and channels to create a one-way, point-to-point messaging infrastructure. Create the queue managers on separate hosts to enable communication over a network. As an extension to the scenario, add Transport Layer Security to the channel to enable secure communication of data.

• Plan the solution
  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 remote queue manager with a sample application.
• Implement the solution
  Implement the solution to the scenario. Create two IBM MQ queue managers on two separate hosts, the source queue manager to send messages, and the target queue manager to receive messages.
• Securing the point-to-point topology
  Secure the point-to-point topology so that messages can be transmitted in a production environment.
