Message Queuing (MSMQ) Purpose Message Queuing (MSMQ) technology enables applications running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks and systems that may be temporarily offline.

Message Queuing (MSMQ)

Applications send messages to queues and read messages from queues. The following illustration shows how a queue can hold messages that are generated by multiple sending applications and read by multiple receiving applications. Where Applicable Message Queuing provides guaranteed message delivery, efficient routing, security, and priority-based messaging. It can be used to implement solutions to both asynchronous and synchronous scenarios requiring high performance. Mission-critical financial services: for example, electronic commerce. Developer Audience Message Queuing applications can be developed using C++ APIs or COM objects. Run-Time Requirements. SOA Implementation Roadmap 3.0. Announcing the third version of ZapThink’s popular “ZapThink SOA Implementation Roadmap” poster!

SOA Implementation Roadmap 3.0

ZapThink has distributed over 100,000 copies of its first two versions of the poster, the first in 2003 and then updated in 2005. The latest version adds cutting-edge thought leadership in SOA, includes detail on architectural artifacts, and expands coverage of SOA Quality, Enterprise Mashups, and more. The ZapThink SOA Implementation Roadmap poster is also an integral part of ZapThink’s Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) Boot Camp course, which ZapThink currently offers as a four-day, in-person training. ZapThink training sessions and events are run throughout the world, with the latest events in Washington, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Australia, India, South Africa, Denmark, Israel, and Dubai. Avoid Getting Lost on the (Enterprise Service) Bus. Message Queue Integration: Why Being Out of Sync Is A Good Thing. In theory, message queue integration is an essential integration pattern for exchange of information between enterprise systems.

Message Queue Integration: Why Being Out of Sync Is A Good Thing

Message Queues (MQ) allow software systems to exchange information without being in sync. Chapter 46. MSMQ QuickStart. Chapter 46.

Chapter 46. MSMQ QuickStart

MSMQ QuickStart The MSMQ quick start application demonstrates how to use asynchronous messaging to implement a system for purchasing a stock. Is follows the same basic approach as in the NMS QuickStart but is adapted as need for use with MSMQ. Please read the introduction in that chapter to get an overview of the system. What Does Service Broker Do? Service Broker helps developers build asynchronous, loosely coupled applications in which independent components work together to accomplish a task.

What Does Service Broker Do?

These application components exchange messages that contain the information that is required to complete the task. This topic describes the following aspects of Service Broker: ConversationsMessage ordering and coordinationTransactional asynchronous programmingSupport for loosely coupled applicationsService Broker components Service Broker is designed around the basic functions of sending and receiving messages.

Each message forms part of a conversation. New Transact-SQL statements let applications reliably send and receive these messages. Certificate-based security helps you protect sensitive messages and control access to services. View topic - Difference detween the IBM MQ and MS MQ... Beside the proprietary aspect (that can be overcomed using the Level8 bridge), MSMQ has features equivalent to Websphere MQ, plus some more.

Examples: - It is possible to use MSMQ without an API. How? You can write a COM+ object and specify that its methods are asynchronous. Any client of this COM+ object, when writing a simple method call on an instance of the object, will transparently use MSMQ to execute the method on an asynchronous COM+ server. Multicasting, Messaging, ActiveMQ vs. MSMQ.

Message brokers. Like Doug, I also used MSMQ at a previous employer.

We were handling medical information (lab reports and prescriptions were part of this system, handling insurance claims weren't). The reason we were using MSMQ was that we had to guarantee that (a) the messages got to their destination, and (b) 1 and only 1 copy of the message got there. If worker processes stopped (the machine died, the program died, some idiot with a backhoe tore up our connection with the outside world), then the message could be resumed when the downstream item was back online. The prescription messaging went out via EDI (refill requests came in via EDI) which is very unfriendly towards, well, everything. Raven MQ – Principles. Originally posted at 11/9/2010.

Message Queuing (MSMQ) Message Queue Shootout! I’ve spent an interesting week evaluating various Message Queue products.

Message Queue Shootout!

The motivation behind this is a client that has somewhat high performance requirements. They have bursts of over a million simultaneous messages. Currently they’re using a SQL server based solution, but it’s not ideal, and I’m suggesting they look at Message Queuing products as an alternative. In order to get a completely unscientific feel for the performance of some likely contenders, I put together a little test. Each queue would be asked to send one million 1K messages and receive them again. The candidates are: MSMQ. Getting all four MQ products up and running was fun. ZeroMQ, with its brokerless architecture doesn’t require any server process or runtime. Master Pattern List (Category) Enterprise Integration Patterns - Table of Contents. Queueing Theory Basics. We have seen that as a system gets congested, the service delay in the system increases.

Queueing Theory Basics

A good understanding of the relationship between congestion and delay is essential for designing effective congestion control algorithms. Queuing Theory provides all the tools needed for this analysis. This article will focus on understanding the basics of this topic. Communication Delays Before we proceed further, lets understand the different components of delay in a messaging system.
