Hi,
I'm developing an application against WebSphere MQ 6.0, but
probably, I need to connect my app against a 5.3 MQ server.
Then, Is 6.0 API compatible with 5.3?
Are there any documentation about it?
Thanks in advance.
Maxi. |

| Should work fine, unless you use MQI options that only apply to v6. I can't think of any significant ones offhand. |

Ok, I assume that you mean "fully" compatible 
There are not differences and this include messege structure (not only functions). It's all right?
Regards. |

Yes. |
You can't say an unequivocal Yes. Usually new functionality is added in new MQ versions which is not backward compatible with previous versions.
For example, MQCONNX with MQCNO structure version 5 (to use new MQCSP structure) will not work in MQ 5.3. I hit this one recently !
