Migration: When migrating from down-level MQSeries to these new offerings, you must be at the latest maintenance level:
Dynamic Workload Distribution: MQSeries support for clusters makes managing networks of queue managers much simpler. The idea of a dynamic workload distribution of queue managers allows the creation of public queues and channels. The same simple programming model means that a message is put to a single named queue. However, that queue may exist as several equivalent queues on different queue managers, with each message being routed to just one of them. If one destination becomes unavailable or unreachable, then an alternative is used. The sender of the message need not take any action. The dynamic workload distribution concept can also be exploited for fault tolerant and parallel processing. Multiple network paths and multiple queues can be defined and used to provide hot standby and extra capacity. Publish/Subscribe: Publish and subscribe, sometimes known as Event Services, enables users to register interest in particular sets of information and then to receive such information when it becomes available. Application programs can operate as publishers or subscribers on Compaq OpenVMS Alpha and Compaq NonStop Kernel, over MQSeries, using a Publish/Subscribe broker on one of the broker-supported platforms. Administration: Remote administration is supported through the MQSeries Explorer, an element of MQSeries for Windows NT®, V5.1. A GUI aids in administering the elements of your MQSeries network, including MQSeries for Compaq OpenVMS Alpha and Compaq NonStop Kernel. Support for multiple queue managers offers increased flexibility in configuration. Queue manager clustering simplifies administration significantly. You may also manage with the:
Scalability of MQSeries applications on Compaq OpenVMS Alpha and Compaq
NonStop Kernel is improved by increases in message and message queue
size. MQSeries Bindings for Java and support for multithreaded programs
(Compaq OpenVMS Alpha only)
assist in integrating MQSeries into advanced e-business applications.

MQSeries for Compaq OpenVMS capacity units may be treated in the same way as the generic MQSeries capacity units for transferability within a Transfer Group. The MQSeries Transfer Group will generally, but not exclusively, define MQSeries products at a consistent version and release level. In general, a chargeable upgrade path will be provided to enable existing use authorization (capacity units) to be migrated to an MQSeries product at a functionally enhanced version or release level. The following table shows the current MQSeries Transfer Groups and the platforms, within each group, eligible for capacity unit transferability. The Version.Release levels shown refer to MQSeries products.
Capacity units are transferable within an individual MQSeries Transfer
Group A, B, or C but cannot be transferred between the three groups.
MQSeries capacity units are not transferable to other MQSeries family
products covered by MQSeries Integrator capacity units and MQSeries
Workflow capacity units.
