Installable services

 

Installable services have formalized interfaces (an API) with multiple entry points.

An implementation of an installable service is called a service component. We can use the components supplied with WebSphere MQ, or we can write your own component to perform the functions that you require.

Currently, the following installable services are provided:

Authorization service

The authorization service allows you to build your own security facility.

The default service component that implements the service is the Object Authority Manager (OAM). By default, the OAM is active, and you do not have to do anything to configure it. You can use the authorization service interface to create other components to replace or augment the OAM. For more information about the OAM, see WebSphere MQ security.

Name service

The name service enables applications to share queues by identifying remote queues as though they were local queues.

We can write your own name service component. You might want to do this if you intend to use the name service with WebSphere MQ V6.0, for example. To use the name service have either a user-written, or a third party, component. By default, the name service is inactive.
