Figure 20. The remote queue definition allows a different transmission queue to be used
In a distributed-queuing environment, when you need to change a message flow from one channel to another, use the same system configuration as shown in Figure 19. Figure 20 shows how you use the remote queue definition to send messages over a different transmission queue, and therefore over a different channel, to the same adjacent queue manager.
For the configuration shown in Figure 20 you must provide:
Messages are placed on transmission queue 'TX1' with a transmission header containing 'QA_norm at QMB_priority', and are sent over the channel to the adjacent system.
The channel_back has been left out of this illustration because it would need a queue manager alias; this is discussed in the following example.
In a clustering environment, you do not need to define a transmission queue or a remote queue definition. For more information about this, see the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager Clusters book.
