I'd recommend MQSeries too, it is tried and tested technology - it works and works well. It has APIs for C, C++ and Java too. As Craig has pointed out, there is support in U2 BASIC from 10.x up for MQSeries AMI API (a subset of the full MQ API).
MQSeries guarantees delivery, can offer confirmation (acknowledgement) of receipt of the message too. The message queuing mechanism is handy too, if you don't require realtime. All of this depends of the myraid of options you use to configuration your queue/channel and how you submit your message. The stumbling block is the initial license & setup costs. Installation and configuration really requires someone who knows there stuff when it comes to MQ. It's not for the faint hearted or someone who isn't familiar with it or similar technologies. It can handle huge data volumes and is well supported by IBM, third-parties and the end-user community. It is also multiplatform - IBM mainframe, IBM midrange, UNIX/Linux, Windows, etc. There are other messaging queue managers out there too.

Pretty easy to integrate into any of the MV's through the C libraries and IBM already make it available in UV/UD. Maybe not as fast as pure sockets but: - Flexible - Batch, Realtime, Send & Receive, Send & Forget, Publish & Subscribe - Probably already works with your DB/Platform of choice - VERY reliable - Data format neutral -- send XML, Fixed Width, Dynamic Arrays, SQL statements whatever best fits your needs Craig ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
