WebSphere MQ and message queuing

 

WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. For example, HP-UX and z/OS applications can communicate through WebSphere MQ for HP-UX and WebSphere MQ for z/OS respectively. The applications are shielded from the mechanics of the underlying communications.

WebSphere MQ implements a common application programming interface known as the message queue interface (or MQI) wherever the applications run. This makes it easier for you to port application programs from one platform to another.

The MQI is described in detail in the Application Programming Reference.
