Common Messaging Interface

The SAS Common Messaging Interface provides the following:

• a seamless environment for writing applications that access message queues of the IBM WebSphere MQ (previously named 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 WebSphere MQ, MSMQ, and Rendezvous enables your application programs to interact in a consistent manner that is independent of your transport.

This section describes the use of the interface and provides reference information for each SAS CALL routine.
