Bridge configuration example

This section describes an example configuration of 4 systems.

Requirement

The requirement for this example is that all machines are able to post a message to a queue on any of the other machines.

It is assumed that all machines are permanently connected to the network, except the MQeMoonQM machine, which is only occasionally connected.

Figure 1. Configuration example
Diagram of four interconnected queue managers in an MQe/MQ network. The queue managers and their configurations are described in detail below.

The four systems are:

MQeMoonQM
This is an MQe client queue manager, sited on a handheld PC. The user periodically attaches the handheld PC to the network, to communicate with the MQeEarthQM MQe gateway.
MQeEarthQM
This is on a Windows® 2000 machine, with an IP address of 20.8.9.50 This is an MQe gateway (server) queue manager.
MQSaturnQM
This is an MQ queue manager, installed on a Windows NT® platform. The IP address is 20.8.9.51
MQJupiterQM
This is an MQ queue manager, installed on a System/390® platform.

Initial setup

For this example, it is assumed that there are local queues, to which messages can be put, on all the queue managers. These queues are called:
  • MQeMoonQ on MQeMoonQM
  • MQeEarthQ on MQeEarthQM
  • MQSaturnQ on MQSaturnQM
  • MQJupiterQ on MQJupiterQM

Now any application connected to any of the queue managers can post a message to any of the queues MQeMoonQ, MQeEarthQ, MQSaturnQ or MQJupiterQ.
