Conversion of data to and from WebSphere MQ

This topic describes how data and headers received from WebSphere® MQ are converted by the WebSphere MQ link into service integration format, and how data is sent to WebSphere MQ.

Conversion of data sent from a WebSphere MQ network

The WebSphere MQ link is capable of automatically handling data in both Big and Little-Endian encoding and character sets, converting header and message content according to the WebSphere MQ formats and protocols (MQFAP) definition. Known message formats such as JMS messages and MQ string format are also automatically converted.

User defined formats are not converted and are treated solely as bytes messages. Any necessary data conversion must be performed in the receiving application.

Conversion of data sent to a WebSphere MQ network

Data and headers sent to the WebSphere MQ network are in Big Endian encoding and UTF8 format. User defined formats are not converted and are treated solely as bytes messages. Any necessary data conversion must be performed in the WebSphere MQ network.
