Starting WebSphere MQ programs automatically

 

WebSphere MQ triggering enables a program start automatically when messages arrive on a queue. We can set trigger conditions on a queue so that a program starts to process that queue:

• Every time that a message arrives on the queue

• When the first message arrives on the queue

• When the number of messages on the queue reaches a predefined number

For more information on triggering, see Starting WebSphere MQ applications using triggers.

Triggering is just one way of starting a program automatically. For example, we can start a program automatically on a timer using non-WebSphere MQ facilities.
