Merging applications

Using queue aliasing to merge applications

Suppose you have the following configuration:

  • A client application that puts data to queue Q1
  • A server application that takes data from Q1 for processing
  • A client application that puts data to queue Q2
  • A server application which takes data from Q2 for processing
Some time later the two server applications are merged into one application supporting requests from both the client applications. It may now be appropriate for the two queues to be changed to one queue. For example, you may delete Q2, and add an alias of the Q1 queue, calling it Q2. Messages from the client application that previously used Q2 are automatically sent to Q1.
