Hi,
If XA is used as a XA Transaction Manager using Java MQ classes, not JTA, the Java application and the WMQ, both need to reside on the same host machine. I have been told this is because shared memory is used as Inter Process Communication mechanism.
If we use deploy WMQ in a docker container and keep our Java application in another docker container, both on the same host, will we be able to use the WMQ as a XA coordinator?
Will we have to use certain special configuration of the container to get it working?
Regards,
Yash |

I don't know the answer to your question as I'm not familiar enough with Docker. So let me ask you this. Do you use a channel, hostname and port number to connect your Java application to the queue manager? If the answer is yes, then your can't use the queue manager as the XA coordinator.
Cheers
Morag

| So far in a non-docker world, we have been using MQEnvironment object and setting the host, port and channel to connect to QM. And XA has been working smoothly. The host is however, the same IP address as the machine where the program is running. |

I don't think you can share memory into and out of a Docker container.
If you can, it will be through some option when you do the docker run command.
What this means is, unless you can find the right docker run option, you must run your application inside the container. And not outside or in another container on the same machine.

What is your XA Co-ordinator in this case?
