What is the use of MQ?

IBM MQ can transport any type of data as messages, enabling businesses to build flexible, reusable architectures such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments. It works with a broad range of computing platforms, applications, web services and communications protocols for security-rich message delivery.Click to see full answer. In this regard, what is WebSphere MQ used for?You can use IBM® WebSphere® MQ to enable applications to communicate at different times and in many diverse computing environments. What is IBM WebSphere MQ? IBM WebSphere MQ is messaging for applications. It sends messages across networks of diverse components.One may also ask, what is a topic in MQ? A topic is the subject of the information that is published in a publish/subscribe message. The IBM® MQ publish/subscribe system is a subject-based publish/subscribe system. A publisher creates a message, and publishes it with a topic string that best fits the subject of the publication. Just so, what are MQ services? An MQ Service defines the interaction between IBM® Integration Bus and WebSphere MQ applications. You can create an MQ Service for each queue manager. You can reuse an MQ Service across multiple MQ nodes, which simplifies the MQ connectivity within your message flows.How do MQ queues work?MQ simply stands for Message Queue. You would use one when you need to reliably send a inter-process/cross-platform/cross-application message that isn’t time dependent. The Message Queue receives the message, places it in the proper queue, and waits for the application to retrieve the message when ready.
