Local queue

The simplest type of queue is a local queue. This type of queue is local to, and owned by, a specific queue manager. It is the final destination for all messages. Applications on the owning queue manager can interact directly with the queue to store messages in a safe and secure way, excluding hardware failures or loss of the device.

You can use local queues either online or offline, either connected or not connected to a network. Queues can also have security attributes set, in a very similar manner to protecting messages with attributes.

Access to messages on local queues is always synchronous, which means that the application waits until MQe returns after completing the operation, for example a put, get, or browse operation.

The queue owns access and security and may allow a remote queue manager to use these characteristics, when connected to a network. This allows others to send or receive messages to the queue.
