Hello,
I'm trying to get a handle on how WMQe is different from normal full blown WMQ. I know WMQe can do persistent messaging but does it support transactions (ie read from one queue and write to another in a single unit of work). Is is XA compliant? - can it control a transation between a queue and an XA compliant database?
Are there any other features of WMQ that are not supported in WMQe?
Thanks |

WMQe is meant to support mainly mobile and handheld devices.
That means reduced volume and as tiny as possible a footprint.
Enjoy  |

WMQe is quite a different beast to WMQ. I'm just starting to get to grips with WMQe and there are differences at many levels.
WMQe (the Java version at any rate) does not have a separate queue manager that you connect to. When you "connect", the WMQe classes get loaded and initialised, which starts the queue manager in your application's JVM. The queue manager runs as a set of threads within your JVM process. This might be different with the C/Mobile device versions.
There are many more types of queues other than local/remote/alias etc. There are sync proxy, async proxy (kinds of remote queues), store and forward queues (kinds of transmission queues), home server queues (kind of a hybrid queue/requestor channel) etc.
There aren't the sender/receiver/requester channels etc.. You setup connections to other WMQe queue managers, and then define things such as proxy queues on the remote qmgr using that connection. Connections can be of different types (e.g. TcpipHTTPAdapter or TcpipHistoryAdapter) etc. Different connection types are used depending on the bandwidth your trying to work over (I believe TcpipHistoryAdapter uses less bandwidth because there's no HTTP headers floating about).
I am not sure about XA coordination, or transactions.
It takes a while to get your head around if your a seasoned WMQ person.

Hi;
WMQe is not a XA complaint, i.e., it can not behave like a transaction co-ordincator between queue & XA database. However full blown MQ could do that.
WMQe supports persistent messages with choice of your storage ( Memory , disk or database or custom made(not supported by IBM i think )).
You can use JTA (Java Transaction API ) to get full transaction capabilities in you application.....

Do you mean to say, that each mobile/palmpilot has a QM? No clients in MQe?
Btw, can MQe connect to MQ? (it's not just a naive question, I would imagine that this is a common need for some buisnesses) |

I'm not so clear on this, but in some cases this is true.

You need a bridge. WBIMB acts as a bridge, there is also a support pack or something included with MQe.

It might be worth noting that IBM are deprecating the MQeInput/MQeOutput nodes from message broker. I heard this from some of the developers at Hursley. Their solution (I guess) is to use the Bridge that comes with MQe to get the messages into WMQ.

I'm kind of not surprised by this.
Given the lack of volume on this forum, I suspect that MQe is not widely used, except where it is heavily used.

I read through here and I am amazed that there isn't a comparison grid between MQe and MQ. I am wondering the same thing. My hunch was MQe is just the MQSeries client on steriods - with some GUI and web friendly APIs.
So I went to the web site and read the typical marketing high-level rhetoric that leaves you more unclear than before you started reading.
Is MQ Everywhere the same as MQ Express - if not, what's the difference?
Is there some type of easy to read summary like a comparison matrix of regular vs. anywhere vs. express MQSeries? If not, what are the differences?
Thanks,
Mike |

WebSphere MQ Express is a SMB version of WebSphere MQ. It's licensed at a better price with reduced capacity.
WebSphere MQ Everyplace is a completely separate product, that has been folded in the WorkPlace line of products, and is designed to provide networking to and from handheld devices like PDAs.

Thanks, Jeff. Forgive my ignorance, but what does SMB mean?
Can I assume that ALL the features for MQSeries (full blown) are available in MQ Express and it's just infrastructure limitations (like CPU)? Some examples of features would be: containing it's own queue manager(s), able to define queues and other objects, able to customize listeners, log activity, using all triggering capabilities, submit MSMQ commands, use message sequencing, all GMO and PMO options, communicate with regular MQSeries servers, supports MQSeries MQI client calls, etc.
What are the capacity maximums?
Thanks,
Mike |

Read the documentation. Some of the limitations are clearly stated like number of channels etc...
SMB =Small and Medium Businesses
Enjoy

I tried this originally but it seemed to be all over the place - painful - which is why I came to this group. Can you guide me to the doco with a link AND suggest a specific section?
Much appreciated!

Mike,
I remember there once was a CBT Training available for an Introduction to WMQe. Was a good starter for me to get into the topic.
Cheers,
Felix |
