Hi,

I would like to know if I am on the right track for doing the following:

We have a client that needs to send a request from an MQ Server to our MQ server. Now, our MQ needs to relay the message to a biztalk server within the same network. All processing is done on the biztalk and then a response must be sent from our Biztalk to our MQ server which in turn sends it to the client. Now, the thing is that our MQ must send a confirmation message AS SOON as it receive the client's message (before even sending anything to our Biztalk server). I assume that the client needs to have a reply queue based on the stuff I read. I was thinking that the following is needed:

ON THE CLIENT SIDE
1. The client has a remote queue definition (which points to our local queue on the MQ Server) say ORDERREQUESTS
2. The client has a local queue for receiving the processed requests (ORDERPROCESSED)
3. The client has a local queue for storing the acknowlegments received from us (CONFIRMATION)

ON OUR SIDE
1. A local queue for order requests (ORDERREQUESTS)
2. a remote queue definition (ORDERPROCESSED)
3. A remote queue for sending acknowlegments to the client's CONFIRMATION queue

Also what should I do if I want the confirmation/acknowlegment messages to bedone automatically (without having an application reading from the ORDERREQUEST queue and sending an acknowlegement manually to the client's CONFIRMATION queue).

Please give as much detail as possible cause as you can see, I am a total newbie.

Thank you all,
