IBM MQ
On distributed systems, IBM MQ is not provided as part of the IBM App Connect Enterprise installation package; however, when you purchase a license for IBM App Connect Enterprise, your license entitles you to install and use IBM MQ. If you choose to use the IBM App Connect Enterprise features that require IBM MQ functionality, you can install and use IBM MQ within the terms of the license. You can install IBM MQ at any time.
The following functions require access to system queues on a queue manager that is specified on the integration node:- Sequence nodes
- Timeout nodes
- Aggregate nodes
- Collector nodes
- Record-Replay capability
- CD nodes
- HTTP proxy
If you want to use these functions, you must specify a queue manager for the integration node, and then explicitly define a set of MQ objects for that queue manager. For more information, see mqsicreatebroker command.
If you use an integration node listener, you must specify a default queue manager for the integration node. For more information, see Interaction between IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM MQ.
For more information about the supported versions of IBM MQ, see the Detailed System Requirements in the IBM App Connect Enterprise system requirements for your operating system.
