Common Messaging Interface

The SAS Common Messaging Interface provides two important functions:

• A seamless environment for writing applications that access message queues of the IBM MQSeries, Microsoft MSMQ, and TIBCO TIB/Rendezvous transports.

• A way to use the local SAS registry or a distributed LDAP repository to store and retrieve messaging information.

The common interface to MQSeries, MSMQ, and Rendezvous allows your application programs to interact in a consistent manner that is independent of which transport you are using.

This section describes the use of the interface as well as providing reference information on each SAS call routine.
