Re: MQ Client on the AS400

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

The iSeries supports MQ Server - it doesn't support MQ Client. You need to
use the full server. You could use the JMS MQ Client I believe, but not the
standard iSeries MQ Client.

I'd rather use MQ Server anyway - you have more control over the process. MQ
Client doesn't allow initiation of data movement - it uses queues on the
server. I use MQ Client on Windows machines that communicate with the
iSeries MQ Server, and that scenario works well.
