Switching from server-based to client-based messaging
You can switch from server-based messaging, the default method for messaging, to client-based messaging.
Before you begin
Prerequisites:
- When you switch to client-based messaging, the database server and WebSphere® MQ (WMQ) must be installed on the same computer.
- On Windows™, you must have the MKS Toolkit to run the chown command.
