Local queue

The simplest type of queue is a local queue. These are real queues that are the final destination for all messages. This type of queue is local to, and owned by, a specific queue manager. Applications on the owning queue manager can interact directly with the queue to store messages in safe and secure way (excluding hardware failures or loss of the device). These queues can be used on a standalone queue manager, or on a queue manager that is connected to a network.

The queue owns access and security and may allow a remote queue manager to use these characteristics (when connected to a network). This allows others to send or receive messages to the queue.
