Oracle applications can benefit from the power of IBM’s WebSphere MQ by deploying MQ Broker/Oracle, an off-the-shelf set of Oracle objects that provides a bidirectional synchronous / asynchronous bridge between WebSphere MQ messaging infrastructure and Oracle database servers.

By linking Oracle islands to enterprise applications, MQ Broker/Oracle enables information transfer and congruency among an organization’s different platforms simply, efficiently and economically

• Integrates natively with Oracle server and PL/SQL.
• Full transactional integrity (with Oracle’s COMMIT and ROLLBACK)
• WebSphere MQ assured once-only message delivery is extended to Oracle applications
• Uniform support for WebSphere MQ Application Programmer’s interface (MQI) for
• PL/SQL programs
• Supports Windows NT, AIX and Sun Solaris

• Implements a true Oracle-based queuing system, rather than using client access to an WebSphere MQ MQM from PL/SQL applications.
• Maintains integrity of WebSphere MQ (MQ Series) rules and conventions, including MQI, the WebSphere MQ interface.
• Oracle applications are not dependent on the availability of WebSphere MQ queue managers residing on different machines.
• The performance of Oracle applications is unaffected by the network or interposes communication performance.
• MQ Broker/Oracle is truly local for Oracle applications.
• MQ Broker/Oracle queues map to native Oracle objects such as schemes and tables and can therefore be managed within the local Oracle environment.
• Reduced integration time and cost.
