IBM MQ adapter overview

The IBM® MQ adapter works with IBM MQ to accomplish the task of maintaining data compatibility, handling all kinds of data transformations from the simplest to the most complex. The IBM MQ adapter can be used at either the source or target application, or at both. There is an adapter for IBM MQ client software and an adapter for IBM MQ server software.

IBM MQ software transports data between applications. For the receiving application to be able to successfully use data, the data must be transformed. IBM MQ can successfully move data in heterogeneous computer networks, allowing systems of dissimilar computers to move data to and from each other. Although data successfully arrives at a target, it often cannot be used in its native form and must be transformed into a format acceptable for the receiving application's use.
