Distributing connector agents across networks

This chapter contains the following sections:

The chapter describes how to install adapters to exchange business data through MQ intercommunication across the Internet.

Note:
This capability is supported only when IBM WebSphere InterChange Server is used as the integration broker.

In this environment, implement a hub-and-spoke feature called Remote Agent technology--in which a hub site has a complete broker system, but the spoke sites need install only a connector agent.

You would typically use this feature where data exchanges need to go across the Internet and traverse a firewall. However, you can also use it in situations where there is no firewall.
