MQ学习笔记(1)

首先弄清楚几个定义

Synchronous: both parties must be alive when the communication occurs

 

Asynchronous: the parties do not need to wait for communication to occur

Drawback of synchronous communications:

 

Ø      Does not tolerate component or network failure

Ø      Difficult to adapt to network configuration and business model

Message Queuing

 

Ø      Message Queuing is a technique for sending messages from one program to another by providing an intermediate storage point in computer memory or in a disk file.

Ø      Messages are stored in message queues until they can be read by the receiver program.

Advantage of MQ

Ø      Program can execute independently

Ø      They do not need to know each other’s location

Ø      Do not need to wait for the receiver to process before continuing

 

Message

Ø      A unit of data sent between two computers

Ø      Can be very simple string text or more complex embedded objects

Ø      Communication through messaging requires both programs to agree upon the type of data in the message

 

How MQ works

1.      makes a call to the MQ system – the message is ready to send to Program B

2.      MQ system sends the message to the Program B

3.      At the appropriate time, Program B reads the message from its queue and process the information

4.      if system communication failure, receiver abort or crash, message recovery capabilities enable the message to be re-sent without further application intervention.

 

Two main categories

Ø      Public queues

v     Can be accessed by all of the sites connected by the network

 

Ø      Private queues

v     Are not published across the entire network

v     Only available on the local computer

Ø      Administration queues

v     Contain messages acknowledging the receipt of the messages sent within a given MQ network

Ø      Response queues

v     Contain response messages when the message is received by the destination application.

 

Features of MSMQ

Ø      Robustness

Ø      Message prioritization

o       More important messages can be received before less important messages

Ø      Offline capabilities

o       Messages can be sent to temporary queues and remains until they are successfully delivered.

o       The message delivery is guaranteed when the network connection is restored.

Ø      Transactional Messaging

o       You can couple several related messages into a single transaction, and delivered only once.
