IBM made several other MQSeries family-related announcements today. A new stand-alone adapter offering, MQSeries Adapter Offering Version 1, complements adapter offerings provided by IBM business partners. New support for HTTP helps MQSeries data pass through firewalls more effectively, and new platform support for MQSeries allows companies to integrate more applications on new platforms. Graphical tools allow visual representation of processor nodes and the connections between them, making it easy to define how business events and critical data are handled. The sequence of processing function dynamically manipulates and routes messages, and can combine them with data from corporate databases, warehouse in-flight messages for auditing and analysis, and distribute information efficiently to subscribing applications.
Subscribers can register their interest based on topic and content of messages.
Security is also enhanced with multiple levels of authorization. MQSeries Integrator Version 2 is available immediately on the Windows NT platform. Other platforms including Sun Solaris and AIX will become available later this year. Adapter Offering Version 1 This stand-alone adapter builder tool, that complements offerings provided by IBM business partners, allows customers to create MQSeries adapters to link applications with the MQSeries environment for integration. The offering also includes a kernel that works with the adapter at execution time providing run-time services.
