Use a WebSphere MQ server to integrate WebSphere MQ queues into a bus

A WebSphere MQ server represents a WebSphere MQ queue manager or (for WebSphere MQ for z/OS ) queue-sharing group. For interoperation with WAS v7.0 or later, the version of WebSphere MQ must be WebSphere MQ for z/OS v6 or later, or WebSphere MQ (distributed platforms) v7 or later.

WAS can interoperate with WebSphere MQ in any of the following ways:

Each type of interoperation is designed for different situations, and provides different advantages. For information about the differences between these approaches, see Interoperating with a WebSphere MQ network.

Decide which method to use to configure these resources. We can configure WebSphere MQ server resources by as described in this task, or by using the SIBAdminCommands: WebSphere MQ server administrative commands .

To set up and use a WebSphere MQ server, you configure the server properties, add the server to a service integration bus as a bus member, and create a WebSphere MQ queue-type destination. Destinations that are assigned to a WebSphere MQ server bus member can also be mediated.

You add the WebSphere MQ server as a bus member so that messaging engines on the bus can access queues on the target WebSphere MQ system. If your WebSphere MQ server is connected to a queue-sharing group, your bus applications can access shared queues on the target installation.

Notes:


Procedure

  1. Create a WebSphere MQ server definition and configure the server properties.

  2. Add the new WebSphere MQ server as a member of a bus so that messaging engines on the bus can access queues on the target WebSphere MQ installation.

  3. Create a WebSphere MQ queue type destination for the new bus member and assign it to a WebSphere MQ queue.

  4. Optional: Mediate the new destination by using the WebSphere MQ queue as the mediation point.
