S&F queues and remote queue references

Because Store and Forward (S&F) queues can accept messages for any queue on a given queue manager, they can appear to be in conflict with a remote queue reference. In such cases the remote queue reference takes precedence, because it is more specific. So if add a remote queue reference to the S&F queue resolution, the message route resolution changes immediately, and the S&F queue becomes irrelevant, as shown in the following diagram:

Figure 1. How routes using remote queue definitions take precedence over store-and-forward queue routes

The queue resolution finds the best (most exact) match for the message address.

So a message put to QueueAlias@TargetQM goes via the S&F queue (asynchronous transmission), but a put to TargetQueue@TargetQM goes synchronously via the remote queue reference.
