About this book

 

This book applies to WebSphere MQ for iSeries V6.0, the member of the WebSphere MQ family for the i5/OS operating system.

This product provides application programming services that enable application programs to communicate with each other using message queues. This form of communication is referred to as commercial messaging. The applications involved can exist on different nodes on a wide variety of machine and operating system types. The product uses a common application programming interface, called the message queue interface or MQI, so that programs developed on one platform can readily be transferred to another.

This book describes the system administration aspects of WebSphere MQ for iSeries V6.0, and the services provided to support commercial messaging. This includes managing the queues that applications use to receive their messages, and ensuring that applications have access to the queues that they require.

Installation of WebSphere MQ is described in WebSphere MQ for iSeries V6 Quick Beginnings.

Post-installation configuration of a distributed queuing network is described in WebSphere MQ Intercommunication.
