does ActiveMQ work within VM under z/9 (WAS6.1 & MQ6.0)

Hi,

our company has just started to migrate and start to use VM on which Linux distros run on z/9 mainframe from IBM. On this mainframe, WAS6.1 is currently runinng with MQ6.0. Since we're trying to migrate even more applications from RACF, i didn't found out, if ActiveMQ would or could actually work with current queues created with MQ6.0 that could possibly be ported to Linux running on VM.

Thank you for your answer!

ActiveMQ cannot work directly with queues created by MQ. You'll have to incorporate some sort of bridging technology. You may want to look at using Camel to bridge the two MOMs.

We successfully use ActiveMQ on the Unix partition of the z/9. We only
run the client part there (the broker runs on a x86-linux box), but
I'd think that the server has any issues running.
You cannot use the MQ queues directly in ActiveMQ, but you can setup a
bridge to transfer the messages. Of course things always get a bit
ugly when RACF and z/9 is involved :)
