This section describes an example configuration of 4 systems.
Requirement
The requirement for this example is
that all machines are able to post a message to a queue on any of the other
machines.
It is assumed that all machines are permanently connected
to the network, except the MQeMoonQM machine, which is only occasionally connected.
Figure 1. Configuration example
The four systems are:
- MQeMoonQM
- This is an MQe client queue manager, sited on a handheld PC. The user
periodically attaches the handheld PC to the network, to communicate with
the MQeEarthQM MQe gateway.
- MQeEarthQM
- This is on a Windows® 2000 machine, with an IP address of 20.8.9.50
This is an MQe gateway (server) queue manager.
- MQSaturnQM
- This is an MQ queue manager, installed on a Windows NT® platform. The IP address
is 20.8.9.51
- MQJupiterQM
- This is an MQ queue manager, installed on a System/390® platform.
Initial setup
For this example, it is assumed that
there are local queues, to which messages can be put, on all the queue managers.
These queues are called:
- MQeMoonQ on MQeMoonQM
- MQeEarthQ on MQeEarthQM
- MQSaturnQ on MQSaturnQM
- MQJupiterQ on MQJupiterQM
Now any application connected to any of the queue managers can
post a message to any of the queues MQeMoonQ, MQeEarthQ, MQSaturnQ or MQJupiterQ.
