A direct connection definition supplies information to allow the 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 just one piece of information, the
name of an actual connection definition or another alias. One may think
of these aliases as queue manager aliases, 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 further information on the Bridge functionality of
WebSphere MQ Everyplace refer to Administering bridge resources.
