What is a WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue manager?

The WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue manager is the focal point of the WebSphere MQ Everyplace system. It provides:

Unlike base WebSphere MQ, WebSphere MQ Everyplace has a single queue manager type. However, you can program WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue managers to act as traditional clients or servers. You can also customize queue manager behavior using rules. The WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue manager is embedded within user written programs and these programs can run on any WebSphere MQ Everyplace supported device or platform.

You can configure queue managers in a number of different ways, the main types being client, server, and gateway. Refer to Starting queue managers for descriptions of these types. You can also update the queue store of a queue manager using administration messages. For more information on administration messages, refer to the WebSphere MQ Everyplace Configuration Guide.

A WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue manager can control the various types of queue that are described in Queue Names. Communication with other queue managers on the WebSphere MQ messaging network can be synchronous or asynchronous. If you want to use synchronous communications, the originator, and the target WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue managers must both be available on the network. Asynchronous communication allows a WebSphere MQ Everyplace application to send messages even when the remote queue manager is offline.
