To create an WebSphere MQ Everyplace network that can interoperates with a WebSphere MQ network, it is necessary to adopt the same limitations in naming convention for both systems. It is therefore important to understand the differences between valid queue names in both systems:
We strongly recommend that you do not use this character in the name of any WebSphere MQ queue or queue manager.
We strongly recommend that you do not define WebSphere MQ Everyplace queues or queue managers with names that contain more than 48 characters.
We strongly recommend that you do not defined any WebSphere MQ queue or queue manager with a name that starts or ends with a '.' character.
If you choose not to follow these guidelines, then you may experience problems when trying to address an WebSphere MQ Everyplace queue from a WebSphere MQ application.
