| Transactions Managers | | Using the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS, WebSphere MQ can only act in the role of a Resource Manager. A 3rd party Transaction Co-ordinator must be used, for example WebSphere Application Server.
Using the WebSphere MQ classes for Java, WebSphere MQ can act as a Transaction Co-ordinator. However it is not possible to participate in a JTA style transaction.
- IBM CICS Transaction Server for i5/OS
|
| Application Servers | | Where a WebSphere MQ client application is running in one of the listed transaction manager environments, it is recommended that you contact the transaction manager vendor in the first instance for support: - IBM WebSphere Application Server, including the WebSphere Application Server client container, V6.0.2 (see this document for more information)
- IBM WebSphere Application Server, including the WebSphere Application Server client container, V6.1 (see this document for more information)
- IBM WebSphere Application Server, including the WebSphere Application Server client container, V7.0 (see this document for more information)
- Other application server environments may be supported [see section note 1]
Notes: - For more detailed information about using WebSphere MQ with application servers see the WebSphere MQ resource adapter statement of support document.
