You also need to know those preconfigured queue names in WebSphere MQ Server.



Highway Server Configuration


If the W

bSphere MQ Server has be
en installed on the same machine as Highway, the
configuration of Highway Server does not require login authentication. If the

with

your WebSphere MQ Server
administrator for login information
.


Hostname


The hostname is the machine name that hosts WebSphere MQ Server.

Channel

:
