I dont understand the exact difference between MQI and AMI in interacting with messaging layer. As far as I understand MQI is representing the 13 API calls that are available for any programming language to talk to mq. But I dont understand the AMI part. The documentation says AMI is *high level* API. May be I am not getting it as it is *high level*. |

By documentation I'm assuming you mean the Application Messaging Interface manual (a thumping good read even if the plot is a bit thin  )
If you don't, brace yourself, grab a highly caffinated beverage and give it a try. Even for an IBM publication it's heavy going.
The AMI is a "high level" interface in that it attempts to encapsultate the MQI calls into service-driven methods available to applications, while simplifying the parameters needed to drive the messaging layer by means of defaults and policies. In theory it simplifies development and deployment. In practice everyone uses JMS or XMS 
I feel certain a conflicting opinion will be along in a moment.....

Why are you looking at AMI, may I ask? It's a deprecated API now, I'm afraid. The recommended API for pub/sub and point-to-point messaging from the C, C++ or .NET environments is XMS. |

I've also heard some IBM people say that AMI was going away. Even that has been a number of months ago....

But now you can worry about MQI vs XMS ....
