About Oracle Messaging Gateway

Oracle Messaging Gateway integrates an Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ) messaging system with other messaging systems, such as IBM Websphere MQ (formerly called MQSeries) and TIBCO Rendezvous. This integration enables Oracle Database applications that use Oracle Streams AQ to communicate bidirectionally and seamlessly with other applications that use non-Oracle messaging systems.

Messaging Gateway uses a gateway agent to send messages from Oracle Streams AQ queues to queues in non-Oracle messaging systems. The gateway agent also enables Oracle Streams AQ queues to receive messages from non-Oracle messaging systems.

Messaging Gateway supports automatic type conversion for Oracle Streams AQ types that can be directly mapped to a non-Oracle messaging system. For types that cannot be directly mapped, you can define custom transformations to map the types. Once defined, custom transformations are performed automatically during propagation.

Messaging Gateway supports the native message formats of the messaging systems. Oracle Streams AQ messages can have RAW or any Oracle object type payload supported by Oracle Streams AQ. IBM Websphere MQ messages can be text or byte messages. TIBCO Rendezvous messages can be any TIBCO Rendezvous wire format data type.

Oracle Streams AQ queues can be securely accessed through the Internet. Messaging Gateway provides secure, Internet-enabled messaging between Oracle Streams AQ queues and queues in a non-Oracle messaging system.
