MQ Writers

Use this page to view information about the dynamically created MQ writers available on the current server.

The MQ-IMS Bridge feature enables you to capture incoming IMS transaction requests sent by an application to a WebSphere MQ queue, process those transactions on an enterprise server instance running an IMS application, and return output to the originating application via a WebSphere MQ output queue. When using an MQ listener with the MQ-IMS Bridge, this procedure requires no modifications to either the originating application or the IMS application.

An MQ writer is an Enterprise Test Server component that sends messages back to a WebSphere MQ output queue. You do not define MQ writers. Enterprise Test Server creates them dynamically as needed.

See MQ-IMS Bridge for more information.
