WebSphere MQ Everyplace queues handle and store messages for WebSphere MQ Everyplace devices.
WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue managers control various
types of queues. There are three which are particularly significant here:
- local queues, which are local to, and owned by, a specific
queue manager.
- remote queues, which do not reside locally. There is a local
queue definition that identifies a real queue (on a different queue manager)
and the queue manager that owns it.
- WebSphere MQ bridge queues,
which provide paths from WebSphere MQ Everyplace to WebSphere MQ. A bridge queue is a remote WebSphere MQ queue
definition on a WebSphere MQ Everyplace gateway. This is
not the same as a normal WebSphere MQ remote
queue, as the message goes through a transformation and is held on the gateway
computer until it can be sent to the WebSphere MQ computer.
