Use of the MQAI
You can use the MQAI to:.
- Implement self-administering applications and administration tools. For
example, the Active Directory Services provided on Windows uses the MQAI.
For more information about the Active Directory Service Interface, see the IBM WebSphere MQ for Windows, Version 6.0 Using the Component Object Model Interface book.
- Simplify the use of PCF messages. The MQAI is an easy way to administer WebSphere MQ;
you do not have to write your own PCF messages and thus avoid the problems
associated with complex data structures.
- Handle error conditions more easily. It is difficult to get return codes
back from the WebSphere MQ script (MQSC) commands, but the MQAI makes it easier for
the program to handle error conditions.
