Deciding on a connection

 

There are two forms of communication between WebSphere MQ for iSeries systems:

• i5/OS TCP

  For TCP, a host address may be used, and these connections are set up as described in the i5/OS Communication Configuration Reference.

  In the TCP environment, each distributed service is allocated a unique TCP address which may be used by remote machines to access the service. The TCP address consists of a host name/number and a port number. All queue managers will use such a number to communicate with each other via TCP.

• i5/OS SNA (LU 6.2)

  This form of communication requires the definition of an i5/OS SNA logical unit type 6.2 (LU 6.2) that provides the physical link between the i5/OS system serving the local queue manager and the system serving the remote queue manager. Refer to the i5/OS Communication Configuration Reference for details on configuring communications in i5/OS.
