IBM MQ

IBM MQ is a message queue software for asynchronous communication in a distributed system to secure reliable data transmission between applications, platforms, and systems. It serves as a middleware and prevents message loss, duplication, or disorder during transmission, and converts and formats data between different systems.

Creating an IBM MQ Connection

Log in to the new ROMA Connect console.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Connector. On the page displayed, click New Connection.
