Configuring WebSphere MQ queue managers
If your WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition network includes more than one WebSphere MQ queue manager, these WebSphere MQ queue managers must be able to remotely communicate with each other.
About this task
There are two ways to configure your queue managers to
be able to communicate with each other:
- By setting up a WebSphere MQ queue manager cluster
- By creating channels between the queue managers
Setting up a queue manager cluster
For information about WebSphere MQ queue manager clusters and how to configure them, see Getting started with queue manager clusters.
Setting up channels between queue managers
Set up the
following message channels between your queue managers:
- From the agent queue manager to the coordination queue manager
- From the command queue manager to the agent queue manager
- From the agent queue manager to the command queue manager (to enable feedback messages to be shown by the commands).
- From the command queue manager to the coordination queue manager
- From the agent queue manager to any other agent queue manager in the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition network
If you need further information about how to set up this communication, start with this WebSphere MQ Version 7.0 information: Administering remote WebSphere MQ objects using MQSC
