To use
Enterprise Test Server MQ listeners and writers, you must configure
WebSphere MQ Queue Manager to include an input queue and an output queue, and optionally an initiation queue:
- Input Queue
- This queue receives IMS transaction requests from your originating application.
- Output Queue
- This queue receives messages from the IMS application running on
Enterprise Test Server.
- Initiation Queue (optional)
- If your queue manager in
WebSphere MQ has a defined initiation queue,
WebSphere MQ notifies that initiation queue when a message arrives at an input queue defined for the same queue manager. If you create
your MQ listener in
Enterprise Test Server to listen to an initiation queue rather than an input queue,
Enterprise Test Server dynamically creates a listener for each input queue that receives a message. This can provide an advantage if your IMS application
running on
Enterprise Test Server is required to process messages from multiple input queues.
For complete information on creating and configuring MQ queues, see your IBM
WebSphere MQ documentation.
