What makes a queue manager bridge-enabled

Some MQe queue managers are capable of exchanging messages with MQ, and some are not.

Those which can are said to be bridge-enabled or bridge-capable. Put simply, a bridge-enabled queue manager is one which runs in an environment capable of supporting the MQ Java™ classes, and when the MQ bridge software is available for the JVM to load.

When an MQe queue manager is activated, it attempts to load the MQ bridge software component. If the MQe classes and dependent software are all loadable, then the queue manager can later report that it is bridge-capable. If required Java classes are not loadable, then error information is traced at that point, but the queue manager will continue to activate, resulting in a queue manager which reports that it is not bridge-capable.
