Messaging between two WebSphere MQ systems through an application server

You can use WebSphere MQ links to send a message from one WebSphere MQ system to another through a WebSphere Application Server application server.

You can exchange messages between two WebSphere MQ systems through an intermediate application server, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 1. Exchanging messages between two WebSphere MQ networks through an intermediate application server.
A WebSphere MQ system (on the left), linked to a WebSphere Application Server system (in the middle), linked to a WebSphere MQ system (on the right).
Although there are differences between WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Application Server has the WebSphere MQ link feature, 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 is 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.
