Using the Application Messaging Interface

The WebSphere MQ Application Messaging Interface (AMI) provides a simple interface that application programmers can use without needing to understand all the options available in the WebSphere MQ Message Queue Interface (MQI). The options that are needed in a particular installation are defined by a system administrator, using services and policies.

The AMI has functions to generate the most commonly used publish/subscribe command messages, and to receive a publication from the broker. It is available for the C, C++, and Java programming languages. The name of the function (or method) depends on the programming language being used. In the case of C, there are two sets of functions: the high-level interface and the object interface.
