Interfacing to WebSphere MQ
MQ is available on many platforms
On z/OS it has interfacing to:
CICS
IMS
Batch or TSO

MQ functions
Common application programming interface (MQI) Assured delivery: messages do not get lost and they arrive only once
No synchronous access needed
Message driven application Quicker development due to shielding of the network

Summary
Messaging and queuing enables communication between applications on different platforms. WebSphere MQ is an example of software that manages messaging and queuing in the mainframe and other environments. With messaging, programs communicate by through messages, rather than by calling each other directly. With queuing, messages are retained on queues in storage, so that programs can run independently of each other (asynchronously).
