Chapter 1: MQ Introduction and Basics

WebSphere MQ is a middleware product from IBM that implements a messaging and queuing framework, allowing independent applications to communicate asynchronously. Messaging involves programs sending data in messages rather than calling each other directly, while queuing places messages on storage queues so programs can run independently at different times and locations. This asynchronous communication model provides advantages like portability and insulation from environmental differences compared to synchronous communication through direct procedure calls.

Chapter 1 : MQ Introduction and Basics

What is Websphere MQ?

IBM WebSphere MQ is a family of network communication software products launched by IBM. It allows independent and potentially non-concurrent applications on a distributed systems to communicate with each other. A middleware product that implements a messaging and queuing framework. Middleware - an intermediate software component that bridges dissimilar computing environments. Unix, MVS, OS/400 Tandem, VMS, NT, etc. SNA, NetBios, TCP/IP Cobol, C, JAVA

Messaging and Queueing


Messaging - programs communicate by sending data in messages rather than by calling each other directly. Queuing - messages are put on queues in storage, eliminating the need for programs to be logically connected. A messaging and queuing framework is inherently ASYNCHRONOUS! Messaging means that programs communicate by sending each other messages (data), rather than by calling each other directly. Queuing means that the messages are placed on queues in storage, so that programs can run independently of each other, at different speeds and times, in different locations, and without having a logical connection between them.

Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Communications

Synchronous: App sends request, then blocks until request is processed. Requires service available at EXACTLY same time as client needs service. Asynchronous: App sends request and checks at some future time if complete. Service need not be available when client sends request

Messaging Advantages
Messaging vs. Procedure Calls As programmers, many of us think procedurally, so using procedures is natural extension of how we think. Messages are an abstract concept: harder for us to conceptualize relationship between actions and messages! We are free to concentrate on the design of the application itself. We are no longer concerned with details of the environment. Our application is suddenly portable and to some degree, extensible.

Messaging and Queuing Characteristics Three key facts about Messaging and Queuing differentiate it from other communication styles: 1) Communicating programs can run at different times. 2) There are no constraints on application structure. 3) Programs are insulated from environmental differences.

Applications Shielded from Environmental Differences Dont care what OS is used. Dont care what language theyre written in Dont care what the underlying communication protocol is used.
