I am sure this is a simple question but for one reason I cannot find the answer(Perhaps I did a 'man' look?)
...../manuals/intercommunication/csqzae060e.htm
With regard to the above document, could someone confirm that I can use say MQ V7 and communicate with a MQ6 or MQ5 Distributed Queue (Remote queue)
Thanks in advance!

Yes.
Bear in mind that Version 5 is out of support (excluding HP Non-Stop Server), and that if clustering is being used, lower versions will not recognise newer attributes of channels, and therefore you may get 'anomalous' results.

Thanks for the info on clustering. Early stages at the moment but two clients wish to talk between each other using WMQ. At present I know one will be using MQ V6 (Perhaps moving up to MQ V7 next year) but it's the other side I don't know yet and wanted to pre-empt any issues I may have.
Thanks

Many thanks for this link - pretty much says MQ 7 is downwards okay but not the other way ?
Regards, Ken |

If you can link it with a channel, it'll work. WMQ V7.0 has a number of enhancements, not least in the Client/Server channel department, that will be ignored by lower-version installations. The site I am on at the moment has three versions running, V5.3, V6.0, and V7.0 (and V5.3.1 for HP Non-Stop Server) all quite happily communicating with each other.

That's the thing I wanted to hear! Real life examples rather than the documentation stating it SHOULD work - but thanks to all who replied!
Many thanks
