IBM MQ Client for z/VM


IBM MQ products enable applications using message queuing to communicate across different platforms via client-server technology. IBM MQ for z/VM is a client that runs on VM's CMS component. Because it is a client and not a full-function queue manager, the VM client will need to be connected to one of these queue managers:

  • AIX
  • z/OS
  • Linux
  • Unix
  • Windows
