The WebSphere MQ Administration Interface (MQAI)

 

In addition to the methods described in Other administration interfaces, WebSphere MQ for Windows, AIX, iSeries, Linux, HP-UX, and Solaris support the WebSphere MQ Administration Interface (MQAI).

The MQAI is a programming interface to WebSphere MQ that gives you an alternative to the MQI, for sending and receiving PCFs. The MQAI uses data bags which allow you to handle properties (or parameters) of objects more easily than using PCFs directly via the MQI.

The MQAI provides easier programming access to PCF messages by passing parameters into the data bag, so that only one statement is required for each structure. This removes the need for the programmer to handle arrays and allocate storage, and provides some isolation from the details of PCF.

The MQAI administers WebSphere MQ by sending PCF messages to the command server and waiting for a response.

The MQAI is described in the second section of this manual. See the WebSphere MQ Using Java book for a description of a component object model interface to the MQAI.
