Summary
IBM's MQSeries - Product Information
IBM's MQSeries software allows message-based application development within distributed systems. MQS, which guarantees message delivery between applications, uses a standard application programming interface (API) in its support of numerous platforms. Among the supported platforms are MVS/ESA, AIX, OS/400 and OS/2, plus non-IBM systems that include Tandem and HP-UX. Message-based applications ensure round-the-clock placement of international orders, as opposed to direct interactions that are restricted to a destination's normal business hours. Message-based connections handles messages regardless of the other application's site or communications technique. A variety of direct connect application techniques, by comparison, can strain application designs. Drawbacks can include tracking activity within MQS, tracking MQS resources and administration.See the full content of this document

Managing message-based middleware.
As distributed systems become pervasive, message-based applications can play an important role. Here's what you need to know to handle such an environment.
Information processing, until recently, has operated using concepts, that require direct synchronous communication between applications. Most legacy systems and even recent innovations in application design require that the application requesting service and the servicing progr...See the full content of this document
