Configuring a queue manager to client connection for IBM® WebSphere MQ

In order to send messages to a WebSphere® MQ queue on another computer, the QManager must be configured for the server and the client computer.

When a new queue is created in WebSphere MQ, the following default values are assigned to it:

• MAXDEPTH - Maximum number of messages that a queue can hold. Defaults to 5000.
• MAXMSGL - Maximum size of a message. Defaults to 4 MB.

These settings may need to be adjusted depending on the load and speed of the third-party application that submits the messages, as opposed to the third-party application that retrieves the messages.
