The topic describes the concept of sending a WebSphere MQ message
to another WebSphere MQ system through a WebSphere Application Server.
You can exchange messages between two WebSphere MQ systems through an intermediate WebSphere Application Server, as shown in the
figure below.
Figure 1. Exchanging messages between two WebSphere MQ networks through
an intermediate WebSphere Application Server.
Although there are differences between
WebSphere Application Server and
WebSphere MQ, the
WebSphere Application Server has
the WebSphere MQ link which automatically takes care of most message conversion
(of course,
data conversion is under your control). A message arriving
at a target WebSphere MQ system will be the same as that leaving the transmitting
WebSphere MQ system, despite its conversion from WebSphere MQ to
WebSphere Application Server and
back to WebSphere MQ format.
