A WebSphere MQ Everyplace device provides assured messaging for applications through dynamic channels.
A WebSphere MQ Everyplace device allows both synchronous local and remote queue access, and asynchronous delivery to remote queues. It therefore has the function typically associated with a server application, although it is restricted to handling only one incoming request at a time.
WebSphere MQ Everyplace device code typically runs on a pervasive WebSphere MQ Everyplace device and is started and stopped on demand by applications running intermittently. However, there is nothing to stop you installing a client on any appropriate computer and running it there.
This code is supplied, for use with the WebSphere MQ Everyplace nodes, as part of the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker installation and it runs on the same computer as a broker installation. It is not necessary to install the WebSphere MQ Everyplace device code separately.
