How messages are passed between service integration and a WebSphere MQ network
When you program a WAS application that interoperates with WebSphere MQ through the default messaging provider and a service integration bus, service integration automatically handles most aspects of the conversion and mapping for messages. Understanding how this process works and the differences between the two environments helps you to program and troubleshoot the applications more effectively.
The basic message conversion process is the same whether the service integration bus is interoperating with WebSphere MQ through a WebSphere MQ link or with a WebSphere MQ server. For further information about different types of messaging with WebSphere MQ links and WebSphere MQ servers, read whichever of the following sections applies to the system's architecture:
