Configuration by messages overview

You can administer MQe resources using specialized messages called administration messages (admin messages). Using these messages allows you to administer resources locally or remotely. The native code base, if configured with an administration queue (admin queue), responds to admin messages. However, it does not provide helper functions to create admin messages. For more information on this, refer to Configuring with the C administrator API. Java™ is administered by admin messages. C can be, but has an administration interface for local administration.

Figure 1. MQe administration using administration messages
top Diagram showing flow of MQe administration using administration messages. Administration application passes and administration request message to a local queue manager, then to the administration queue on the target queue manager, and then to the managed resource. The target administration queue sends an administration reply message back through the two queue managers to the original application.
