Overview of using a WebSphere MQ server

You use a WebSphere MQ server to configure a direct (single bus) connection to a WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue manager or queue sharing group. For WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1, this must be WebSphere MQ for z/OS Version 6 or later. The administrative tasks for working with WebSphere MQ server include creating a WebSphere MQ server definition, adding it to a service integration bus, specifying a destination, and optionally, mediating the destination.

To interact with a WebSphere MQ network, you create at least one WebSphere MQ server definition. To interact with multiple WebSphere MQ queue managers or queue sharing groups, you create a server definition for each queue manager or queue sharing group. A queue sharing group is a group of queue managers that can access the same set of shared queues.

You can create and configure a WebSphere MQ server using the administrative console or using the wsadmin tool. If you use the administrative console, the server creation wizard can automatically discover resources in the WebSphere MQ network. To create and configure a WebSphere MQ server you complete the following broad steps:
  1. Create a WebSphere MQ server definition at cell scope. The server definition represents a WebSphere MQ queue manager or a queue sharing group to service integration. The server definition defines how the connection is made, and provides security information for the connection.
  2. Add the server definition to a service integration bus. This makes the server a bus member, and creates a WebSphere MQ server bus member.
  3. Specify a queue-type destination and assign its queue point to a WebSphere MQ queue.
You can also mediate the destination that is assigned to a WebSphere MQ server bus member. Your mediation can be hosted either by WebSphere Application Server (using the mediation facilities offered by service integration) or by WebSphere MQ.
