This section describes how MQe can be made to interact with MQ using a gateway.
- A gateway is an MQe queue manager configured
with a bridge that allows it to interact with MQ.
- The bridge is an MQe object (in the same sense that queues,
connections and so on are objects).
- The MQ queue manager does not require any special configuration. It is
referred to within MQe as the queue queue manager.
- The gateway runs on a machine acting as a server that can connect to another
machine running MQ. The gateway cannot run on a device.
- The gateway and MQ can both be running on the same machine if required.
- In a complex setup, a gateway can have multiple bridges configured (this
is very unusual).
