Using WebSphere MQ links to connect a bus to a WebSphere MQ network

If you operate within a WebSphere® Application Server environment, sending messages across a service integration bus, you can also exchange point-to-point and publish/subscribe messages with applications in a WebSphere MQ network. To do this, you configure a foreign bus connection that links to a WebSphere MQ network through a WebSphere MQ link.

Before you begin

Decide which method to use to configure these resources. You can configure a WebSphere MQ link by using the administrative console as described in this task, or you can configure a WebSphere MQ link by using the wsadmin tool.

About this task

A WebSphere MQ link provides a server to server channel connection between a service integration bus and a WebSphere MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group, which acts as the gateway to the WebSphere MQ network. The link operates on a messaging engine in a service integration bus to provide functions that simplify and automate interoperation with WebSphere MQ.

Using the WebSphere MQ link panels of the WebSphere Application Server administration console, you can choose:
  • The WebSphere MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group in the WebSphere MQ network through which your messages will flow
  • Whether to enable WebSphere Application Server applications to publish and subscribe to a message broker in the WebSphere MQ network
Maintenance note: WebSphere MQ links use code provided by the WebSphere MQ resource adapter, which is automatically installed as part of the product. However, when you migrate WebSphere Application Server profiles from maintenance level 7.0.0.0 to later maintenance levels, or from later maintenance levels to the 7.0.0.0 maintenance level, you must manually adjust the WebSphere MQ resource adapter configuration. For more information, see Adjusting the WebSphere MQ resource adapter configuration when migrating profiles between maintenance level 7.0.0.0 and later levels.
