What makes a queue manager bridge-enabled

Some WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue managers are capable of exchanging messages with WebSphere MQ, and some are not. Those which can are said to be bridge-enabled or bridge-capable. Put simply, a bridge-enabled queue manager is one which runs in an environment capable of supporting theWebSphere MQ Java classes, and when the WebSphere MQ bridge software is available for the JVM to load.

When a WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue manager is activated, it attempts to load the WebSphere MQ bridge software component. If the WebSphere MQ Everyplace classes and dependent software are all loadable, then the queue manager can later report that it is bridge-capable. If required Java classes are not loadable, then error information is traced at that point, but the queue manager will continue to activate, resulting in a queue manager which reports that it is not bridge-capable.
