This chapter provides an introduction to the Advanced Queuing adapter and how it works with Oracle9iAS InterConnect. This chapter discusses the following topics:

• Advanced Queuing Adapter Overview

Advanced Queuing Adapter Overview

The Oracle9iAS InterConnect Advanced Queuing adapter enables an Oracle Advanced Queuing application to be integrated with other applications using Oracle9iAS InterConnect. This adapter is useful in all enterprise application integration scenarios involving Oracle Database Advanced Queuing applications. The purpose of this guide is to explain all the necessary design time and runtime concepts of the Advanced Queuing adapter.

Hardware Requirements

Table 1-1 lists the hardware requirements for the computer on which the Oracle Advanced Queuing adapter is installed.

Table 1-1 Hardware Requirements

Hardware	Windows NT/2000	UNIX
Memory	128 MB	128 MB
Disk Space	500 MB	500 MB

Software Requirements

The following are software requirements for the Advanced Queuing adapter:

• Operating System Requirements

• JRE Requirements

Operating System Requirements

Table 1-2 lists operating system requirements for the computer on which the Advanced Queuing adapter is installed.

Table 1-2 Operating System Requirements

Operating System	Version
Windows NT/2000	version that supports at least 400 MHz
IBM AIX-Based Systems	version 4.3.3
Compaq Tru64 UNIX	version 5.0a or 5.1
