The IBM MQ architecture centers around Queue Managers, the core components responsible for message handling. These managers use queues to store messages and channels to facilitate communication. Channels can be of various types, including sender, receiver, server-connection, and client-connection channels.
Queue Managers use persistent storage, typically disk-based, to ensure message durability. Communication between components occurs over TCP/IP, with configurable ports. For example, the default port for the listener is 1414.
The administrative interface includes a CLI (using MQSC commands) and a GUI (MQ Explorer). User management involves defining users and assigning them roles with specific permissions. Configuration parameters include queue depths, channel definitions, and security settings.
Monitoring is achieved through built-in tools and external monitoring systems. IBM MQ's architecture supports high availability through queue manager clustering and multi-instance queue managers. Compared to Apache ActiveMQ, IBM MQ offers more robust transaction support and guaranteed message delivery.
