Introduction

This book provides the basic information necessary in order to configure MQe queue managers and networks. It is also designed to allow a user to customize a configuration matching his or her specific business requirements. It describes how individual MQe components can be created and administered and how components may be used together in various topologies.

The contents include information on:

This introduction provides a map of various routes through the rest of the guide depending on the type of configuration which the user hopes to achieve. Since these routes are described in terms of queue manager configurations, a brief description of the MQe queue manager and associated components follows.

In the following table, the necessary steps to configure each type of queue manager are itemized, together with the corresponding chapters of this manual. The Basic Queue Manager configuration is a prerequisite of all other configurations; that is to say, any queue manager must first be configured as a Basic Queue Manager. Then, other types of functionality may be added as required.

Thus:
To configure a Client
Carry out steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
To configure a Server
Carry out steps 1, 2, 6 and 7
To configure a queue manager with both Server and Client functionality
Carry out steps 1 through 7 inclusive
