Application Integration with WebSphere MQ and MQ/204
Today's enterprises are both enriched and challenged by highly complex
IT infrastructures. Enriched because abundant software, inexpensive
servers and powerful networks allow us to choose the right
technology and platform for each job. Challenged because no
application is an island, yet the myriad of operating systems
and development environments used throughout the enterprise
have a tendency to isolate applications from one another.
WebSphere
MQ from IBM solves all that by enabling business applications
to easily exchange information across scores of different
operating systems. MQ/204 from Computer Corporation of America
provides full support for WebSphere MQ from within Model 204,
allowing Model 204 applications to communicate with nearly
any other business application on the network.
WebSphere MQ: Opening the Lines of Communication
 WebSphere
MQ is a message queuing middleware product that provides an
easy-to-use programming interface, and allows enterprise applications
to exchange information freely and easily. In the simplest
case, Application A puts a message on a queue, and Application
B retrieves it. But depending on your application needs, the
scenario could be far more complex, and involve multiple computers,
multiple queues, and deferred messages.
A WebSphere MQ implementation involving applications on different computers.
WebSphere MQ is an invaluable component of the IT infrastructure, and
continues to dominate a growing market. To leverage this powerful
technology from Model 204, Computer Corporation of America
provides MQ/204, which helps you:
 |
PreserveIT investment by communicating instead of rewriting. |
|
Eliminate duplicate efforts that kept related applications in synch |
|
Choose the best technology for each application without sacrificeMQ/204: User Language |
Meets WebSphere MQ
MQ/204 is an intuitive extension to User Language that lets you take
full advantage of WebSphere MQ from within Model 204. By simply
learning a few new command parameters, programmers can modify
User Language applications to put and retrieve messages to
and from WebSphere MQ queues. So Model 204 can exchange information
with other applications on the network, regardless of the
operating systems or development environments in use.
Begin realizing the benefits of MQSeries immediately
MQ/204's intuitive command interface helps you take advantage of Websphere
MQ quickly, and with minimal impact on existing applications.
It provides access to nearly every feature of Websphere MQ,
right from within User Language programs. So you can use Model
204 variables and images in your Websphere MQ operations.
And there's no need to link to complex, external routines.
Reduce implementation expenses
In addition to helping you preserve your existing IT investment, MQ/204
helps keep future spending under control. Because there is
less need to convert enterprise applications to a homogeneous
environment for the sake of communication, you could save
literally millions of dollars that would otherwise be spent
on new hardware, software, and application development. And
since MQ/204 is implemented in User Language, you can leverage
in-house programming expertise which saves even more time
and money.
Maximize efficiency of Model 204 applications
MQ/204 provides a variety of tuning parameters that give you a high
degree of control over application performance. It also makes
efficient use of subtasks in multiprocessor environments,
in order to maintain optimal performance of Model 204 applications.
So not only is it the easiest way to take advantage of Websphere
MQ from Model 204, it's the best performer as well.
