About queued message distribution services for integrations
About the example configuration
Axway Integrator supplies services for transforming, enhancing, validating and routing the files and messages that transit in your network.
WebSphere MQ is an IBM product that provides Message Oriented Middleware (MOM). It enables independent and potentially non-concurrent applications installed in a distributed system to communicate with each other via managed message queues.
Integrator can use the services of WebSphere MQ for queued reception and distribution of messages.
There are many ways to access WebSphere MQ facilities. Some of the APIs supported by IBM are:
Integrator exchanges messages with WebSphere MQ via JMS.
The topics in this book describe how to combine the services of Integrator and WebSphere MQ to create an integrated system of queued message handling.
To provide integration services via MOM, you require the following Axway products:
You can install these products on different machines and/or different platforms.
To link Integrator to WebSphere MQ you use the Integrator JMS (Java Message Service) Connector. You can also use the JMS Connector to connect Integrator to any JMS provider, such as WebLogic, Axway Messaging or OpenJMS.
The following figure illustrates the connection architecture described in this document.
For the example described in this document, the installation of the products has the following characteristics:
Objects to create in Composer:
On the WebSphere MQ server side, a JMS API handles deposit and read queue events using the JMS standards.
