IBM MQ and IMS

Use this topic to understand how IBM® MQ works with IMS. The IMS adapter allows you to connect your queue manager to IMS, and enables IMS applications to use the MQI.

The optional additional IBM MQ - IMS bridge enables applications to run an IMS application that does not use the MQI. This means that you can use your legacy applications with IBM MQ, without the need to rewrite them.
