Introduction to the function and use of queue managers
You can configure queue managers in a number of different ways, the main types being client, server, and gateway. You can also update the queue store of a queue manager using administration messages. For more information on administration messages, refer to the MQe Configuration Guide.
Communication with other queue managers on the MQe messaging network can be synchronous or asynchronous. If you want to use synchronous communications, the originator, and the target MQe queue managers must both be available on the network. Asynchronous communication allows an MQe application to send messages even when the remote queue manager is offline.
