Other uses of send and receive exits

 

Send and receive exits can be used for reasons other than security. For example, they can be used to compress and decompress the data that flows on a channel if the communications subsystem cannot provide this function. On message channels, they are more appropriate than message exits for this purpose because message headers can be compressed as well as the application data in the messages. In WebSphere MQ V6.0, data compression on channels is supported as an integral part of WebSphere MQ functionality. This integral support does not involve use of channel exits.
