This book applies to the following WebSphere MQ Version 5.3 products:
These products provide application programming services that enable application programs to communicate with each other using message queues. This form of communication is referred to as commercial messaging. The applications involved can exist on different nodes on a wide variety of machine and operating system types. They use a common application programming interface, called the Message Queue Interface or MQI, so that programs developed on one platform can readily be transferred to another.
This book describes the system administration aspects of the WebSphere MQ Version 5.3 products, and the services they provide to support commercial messaging. This includes managing the queues that applications use to receive their messages, and ensuring that applications have access to the queues that they require.
Installation of WebSphere MQ is described in the following:
Post-installation configuration of a distributed queuing network is described in WebSphere MQ Intercommunication.
