The following features for the WebSphere® MQ for Windows® client
environment can be installed from the WebSphere MQ Server
CD or the WebSphere MQ Client CD:
- Windows client
- The WebSphere MQ client is a small subset
of WebSphere MQ, without a queue manager,
that uses the queue manager and queues on other (server) computers. It can
be used only when the computer it is on is connected to another computer that
is running a full server version of WebSphere MQ.
The client and server can be on the same computer if required.
- Java™ Messaging and SOAP Transport
- The
files needed for messaging using Java (includes Java Message Service support) and WebSphere MQ transport for SOAP.
- Development Toolkit
- This
feature includes sample source files, and the bindings (files .H, .LIB, .DLL,
and so on), that you need to develop applications to run on WebSphere MQ.
Bindings and samples are provided for the following languages: C, C++, Visual
Basic, ActiveX, Cobol, and .NET (including C#). Java and Java Message Service support is included
and samples are provided for MTS (COM+), and MQSC.
- WebSphere MQ Client File Transfer Application
- The
Client File Transfer Application allows you to send and receive ordinary files
in the form of WebSphere MQ messages. You
can use the Client File Transfer Application to send and receive any type
of file in any format, for example: ASCII Linux® format (with line feed characters),
ASCII file Windows format (with carriage return/line feed characters),
binary (for example, image files, wordprocessor files, spreadsheet files,
or zip files), also reports, letters, memos and charts. The Client File Transfer
Application only has a command line interface.
- Client Extended Transaction Support
- A WebSphere MQ extended transactional client is
a WebSphere MQ client with some additional
function. This function allows a client application, within the same unit
of work:
- To put messages to, and get messages from, queues that are owned by the
queue manager to which it is connected.
- To update the resources of a resource manager other than a WebSphere MQ
queue manager.
- Java Extended Transaction Support
- Extended
transaction support for Java Message Service.
