Direct connection definition

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.
