WebSphere MQ links
For WebSphere MQ foreign buses an MQ link is implemented at run time by establishing sender and receiver channels between the messaging engine and an MQ queue manager.
To a messaging engine configured with an MQ link, the MQ queue manager appears to be a foreign bus. To the MQ queue manager, the messaging engine appears to be another MQ queue manager, with a virtual queue manager name. The MQ queue manager is unaware that it is communicating with a messaging engine.
The name specified for the foreign bus does not need to match the name of the target MQ queue manager. However, specifying a name for the foreign bus that matches the target MQ queue manager simplifies the routing of messages across the link.
