IBM WebSphere MQ for z/OS v7 gives you easier Web connectivity, out-of-the-box support for Web 2.0, more flexible programming options and enhanced performance.
Publish and Subscribe for z/OS
In version 7, publish and subscribe is integrated into the z/OS queue manager and is fully configurable in the graphical MQ Explorer tool, which can be used to view, navigate and configure the entire WebSphere MQ network, including those deployed on z/OS.
With integrated support for publish and subscribe messaging, WebSphere MQ v7 is an ideal transport layer for an event-driven SOA. The solution lets receiving applications subscribe to message content without the sending application keeping track of who wants what and where.
The linkage between applications that publish and receive messages isn’t defined explicitly, so you don’t need to update requests when changing an application. Instead, the path between applications is determined dynamically by WebSphere MQ for z/OS, based on topics or keywords that declare interest in certain messages when subscribing, or that tag a message when publishing.
Tap into Your Mainframe Assets with WebSphere MQ
If you need to connect applications in a secure, reliable, scalable, and highly available way, regardless of type of data, application, protocol and platform and reuse your z assets, IBM WebSphere MQ for z/OS is the solution for you. It provides a rich set of features to extend the reach of your mainframe CICS, IMS, WAS and Batch assets and allow them to be of wider use in an SOA world.
