This Oracle GlassFish Server Message Queue 4.5 Administration Guide provides background and information needed by system administrators to set up and manage an Oracle GlassFish Server Message Queue messaging system.
This preface consists of the following sections:
This guide is intended for administrators and application developers who need to perform Message Queue administrative tasks. A Message Queue administrator is responsible for setting up and managing a Message Queue messaging system, especially the message broker at the heart of the system.
Before reading this guide, you should read the Oracle GlassFish Server Message Queue 4.5 Technical Overview to become familiar with the Message Queue implementation of the Java Message Service specification, with the components of the Message Queue service, and with the basic process of developing, deploying, and administering a Message Queue application.

Message Queue documentation makes use of three directory variables; two of which represent environment variables needed by Message Queue. (How you set the environment variables varies from platform to platform.)
The following table describes the directory variables that might be found in this book and how they are used. Some of these variables refer to the directory mqInstallHome, which is the directory where Message Queue is installed to when using the installer or unzipped to when using a zip-based distribution.
Note - In this book, directory variables are shown without platform-specific environment variable notation or syntax (such as $IMQ_HOME on UNIX). Non-platform-specific path names use UNIX directory separator (/) notation.

The documents that constitute the Message Queue documentation set are listed in the following table in the order in which you might normally use them. These documents are available through the Oracle GlassFish Server Server documentation web site at
Table P-6 Message Queue Documentation Set

The Message Queue message service conforms to the Java Message Service (JMS) application programming interface, described in the Java Message Service Specification. This document can be found at the URL
JMS and Message Queue API documentation in JavaDoc format is included in Message Queue installations at IMQ_HOME/javadoc/index.html. This documentation can be viewed in any HTML browser. It includes standard JMS API documentation as well as Message Queue–specific APIs.
Message Queue provides a number of example client applications to assist developers.
Example Java client applications are included in Message Queue installations at IMQ_HOME/examples. See the README files located in this directory and its subdirectories for descriptive information about the example applications.
Example C client applications are included in Message Queue installations at IMQ_HOME/examples/C. See the README files located in this directory and its subdirectories for descriptive information about the example applications.
Example Java Management Extensions (JMX) client applications are included in Message Queue installations at IMQ_HOME/examples/jmx. See the README files located in this directory and its subdirectories for descriptive information about the example applications.
Online help is available for the Message Queue command line utilities; for details, see Chapter 16, Command Line Reference for details. The Message Queue graphical user interface (GUI) administration tool, the Administration Console, also includes a context-sensitive help facility; see the section “Administration Console Online Help” in Chapter 2, Quick-Start Tutorial.
