A direct connection definition supplies information that allows a local
queue manager to create a channel to a remote queue manager in the WebSphere
MQ Everyplace network. The information is the actual network
information for the remote queue manager and does not involve any routing via
other queue managers.
There are two variants of a direct connection, these are:
- Alias connection definition
- An alias connection definition provides the name of an actual connection
definition or another alias. You may think of these aliases as queue
manager aliases as they allow an administrator to set up a connection
definition to a particular queue manager, which may then be referred to by
another name.
- MQ connection definition
- This is a specialized connection that identifies a remote queue manager as
a WebSphere MQ queue manager as opposed to a WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue
manager. For more information on bridge functionality with WebSphere MQ
Everyplace, refer to Administering bridge resources.
