New IBM MQ 9.1.5 features for IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS Value Unit Edition

Use of IBM Aspera fasp.io Gateway streaming for IBM MQ messages

Queue managers can be configured so that IBM MQ system, application, and Managed File Transfer messages pass through an Aspera gateway to reach a destination using the Aspera FASP protocol in place of TCP/IP. For some use cases, this allows messages to move between destinations more rapidly than otherwise would be the case.

From IBM MQ 9.1.5, IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS VUE provides entitlement for using the IBM Aspera fasp.io Gateway.

An Aspera gateway is set up, under Linux®, for use by sending and receiving queue managers. Each of these queue managers must be one of IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS VUE, IBM MQ Advanced for Multiplatforms, or IBM MQ Appliance queue managers. The gateway does not need to run on the same server as the queue manager, or on the IBM MQ Appliance.

For more information, see Defining an Aspera gateway connection on Linux.

Note that use of the Aspera gateway is limited to IBM MQ messages unless the gateway is separately entitled.
