What is function of Message queue?

Message queues provide a form of message passing in which any process can read a message from or write a message to any IPC message queue on the system. There are no requirements that a process be waiting to receive a message from a queue before another process sends one, or that a message exist on the queue before a process requests to receive one.

What is Message queue?

A message queue is a queue of messages sent between applications. It includes a sequence of work objects that are waiting to be processed.

Another application, called a consumer, connects to the queue and gets the messages to be processed. Messages placed onto the queue are stored until the consumer retrieves them.

Why do we need Message queue?

• Queue is used when things don’t have to be processed immediately.
• It have to be processed in First In First Out order like Breadth First Search.

How do I read message queue?

Read messages from queues using the get next statement with the message queue record as the I/O object.When you use the get next statement, EGL performs the following actions:

• Connects to the queue manager, if the queue manager is not already connected.
• Opens the queue, if the queue is not already open.
• Gets the next message from the queue.

You must use a local definition of the remote queue on the currently connected queue manager if both of the following circumstances are true:

• You are reading messages from a queue on another Queue Manager using the get next statement.
• You previously read a message from a queue using the get next statement.

You must use the close statement after a get next statement to close the connection to the queue in any of the following circumstances:

• Before using the add statement.
• To release the queue for access by another program.
• To release the queue if you have a long running program and have completed work with the queue.

EGL automatically closes the connection to the queue on program termination.
