Interoperation with IBM MQ

You can enable JMS interaction with a IBM MQ network by using the IBM MQ messaging provider. Service integration can also provide interoperation through a IBM MQ link or a IBM MQ server.

Note: The interoperation through IBM MQ server (queue manager or queue-sharing group) is deprecated in WebSphere® Application Server version 9. As an alternative method, you can use IBM MQ resource adapter or IBM MQ link to connect to the IBM MQ network for interoperation. For more information, see Deprecated features.

Each type of connectivity for interoperation is designed for different situations, and provides different advantages.

For more information about IBM MQ, see the IBM MQ library.

When a WebSphere Application Server process or an application client process starts, and while this process is running, an amount of processing is performed to allow it to support IBM MQ-related functionality such as the IBM MQ messaging provider. By default this processing is performed regardless of whether any IBM MQ-related functionality is ever used. If you do not need to take advantage of any IBM MQ functionality, it is possible to disable all IBM MQ functionality in an application server or client process to give increased performance. For more information, see Disabling WebSphere MQ functionality in WebSphere Application Server.
