I am working on an intranet application that will be running Microsoft IIS 5.0/Windows 2000 for the web server. The application will be written in ASP and will make use of various COM objects that will handle MQSeries interaction with a remote Queue Manager.
My question: Is it ok to just install MQSeries Client on the Web Server since it will be talking to a remote Queue Manager and therefore does not have to be a Queue Manager itself? Will it be able to handle a large volume of MQSeries API calls executing simultaneously? Would a full-blown MQ server install be more stable?
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Q.)Is it ok to just install MQSeries Client on the Web Server since it will be talking to a remote Queue Manager and therefore does not have to be a Queue Manager itself?
A.) This is true, although be aware that Clients can't do somethings (like 2 phase commits) and rely on a network connection being there before they can put a message to a queue, or get one for that matter.
Q.) Will it be able to handle a large volume of MQSeries API calls executing simultaneously?
A.) If you mean will multiple instances of your app be able to execute as Clients, yes. Each would have its own connection to the Queue Manager.
Q.) Would a full-blown MQ server install be more stable?
A.) Well, since you don't rely on a network connection to PUT a message in this setup, then yes. But if all the local queue manager is going to do is forward the message to another QM, and that requires a network connection, then you really haven't bought yourself anything have you?
Clients are often a good way to go when there is no need for 2 phase commit. Our company has many of our apps all client connecting to one big server that houses 1 queue manager. This MQConcentrator box only does MQ and nothing else. 99% of the time a when new app comes up, they make do with the Client.
