Interoperation with WebSphere MQ

You can enable JMS interaction with a WebSphere® MQ network by using the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. Service integration can also provide interoperation through a WebSphere MQ link or a WebSphere MQ server. Each type of connectivity is designed for different situations, and provides different advantages.

For more information about WebSphere MQ, see the WebSphere MQ library.

When a WebSphere Application Server process or an application client process starts, and while this process is running, an amount of processing is performed to allow it to support WebSphere MQ-related functionality such as the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. By default this processing is performed regardless of whether any WebSphere MQ-related functionality is ever used. If you do not need to take advantage of any WebSphere MQ functionality, it is possible to disable all WebSphere MQ functionality in an application server or client process to give increased performance. For more information, see Disabling WebSphere MQ functionality in WebSphere Application Server.
