The MQSeries interface is implemented as a Microsoft Windows Service that reads requests from an MQSeries queue and forwards them to ITP/Server over its TCP/IP interface. Once installed for a particular ITP/Server installation, it automatically detects the TCP/IP interface, so no configuration is required in this respect. One only needs to configure MQSeries-specific settings. These are explained in the chapter Configuration.
The MQSeries interface will shut down automatically if it is unable to access the request queue because of a permanent error e.g., an 'access denied' or a 'queue does not exist' error. If the MQSeries interface is unable to access the request queue because of a temporary failure the MQSeries interface will attempt to (re)establish its connection to the request queue. In this case, most likely you can expect a 'queue is unavailable' error because the queue manager has been shut down. The interval between reconnection attempts starts at 5 seconds and will increase up to 60 seconds when the request queue is unavailable for a longer amount of time.
It is possible to install multiple MQSeries interface Services. Each Service can read from different MQSeries queues on different queue managers.
