Configure distributed queuing

Configure distributed queuing

This section provides more detailed information about intercommunication between IBM MQ installations, including queue definition, channel definition, triggering, and sync point procedures

Before you begin

Before reading this section it is helpful to have an understanding of channels, queues, and the other concepts introduced in Distributed queuing and clusters.

IBM MQ distributed queuing techniques
The subtopics in this section describe techniques that are of use when planning channels. These subtopics describe techniques to help you plan how to connect your queue managers together, and manage the flow of messages between our applications.
Introduction to distributed queue management
Distributed queue management (DQM) is used to define and control communication between queue managers.
Monitor and controlling channels on UNIX, Linux, and Windows
For DQM you need to create, monitor, and control the channels to remote queue managers. We can control channels using commands, programs, IBM MQ Explorer, files for the channel definitions, and a storage area for synchronization information.
Monitor and controlling channels on IBM i
Use the DQM commands and panels to create, monitor, and control the channels to remote queue managers. Each queue manager has a DQM program for controlling interconnections to compatible remote queue managers.
Configure a queue manager cluster
Clusters provide a mechanism for interconnecting queue managers in a way that simplifies both the initial configuration and the ongoing management. We can define cluster components, and create and manage clusters.
