Appendix B. Installing Remote Agent technology

This appendix describes how to install InterChange Server components that are used for exchanging business data through WebSphere MQ intercommunication across the Internet.

The appendix contains the following sections:

The ICS components implement a hub-and-spoke feature called Remote Agent technology--in which a hub site has a complete InterChange Server system, but the spoke sites have only a connector agent.

Remote Agent technology is typically used where data exchanges go across the Internet through a firewall. However, it can also be used in setups where there is no firewall.
