Moving from the embedded WebSphere JMS provider to MQ

Use this task to move from the embedded WebSphere JMS provider to MQ as the provider of messaging services and resources for WebSphere enterprise applications.

To move from the embedded WebSphere JMS provider to WebSphere MQ as the provider of messaging services and resources for WebSphere enterprise applications, you need to install and configure a supported level of WebSphere MQ with the required MQ features.

Existing JMS resource definitions for the embedded WebSphere JMS provider continue to work with MQ as the JMS provider, so you do not need to redefine those JMS resources. However, to take advantage of the extra configuration options for MQ, you can use the administrative console to define new JMS resources as WebSphere MQ resources; for example, to define MQ Queue Connection Factories.

 

  1. For MQ point-to-point messaging, install the base WebSphere MQ product. For information about installing WebSphere MQ 5.3, or migrating to MQ 5.3 from an earlier release, see the appropriate MQ Quick Beginnings book, as follows:

    • MQ for Windows, V5.3 Quick Beginnings, GC34-6073

    • MQ for AIX, V5.3 Quick Beginnings, GC34-6076

    • MQ for Solaris, V5.3 Quick Beginnings, GC34-6075

    • MQ for Linux for Intel and Linux for zSeries, V5.3 Quick Beginnings, GC34-6078

    One can get MQ messaging platform-specific books at this Web page:

  2. Configure MQ queue resources to IBM WebSphere Application Server.

  3. For MQ publish/subscribe messaging, install a Publish/Subscribe broker, such as MQ Event Broker.

    For more information about installing MQ Event Broker or MQ Integrator (formerly MQSeries Integrator), see the following Web sites:

  4. Configure MQ topic resources to IBM WebSphere Application Server. For publish/subscribe messaging, WebSphere applications can continue to use WebSphere topic resources (through the embedded messaging JMS provider) or WebSphere MQ topics.
