3.2.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

The abstract data model for this protocol comprises ADM elements that are private to this protocol and others that are shared between multiple MSMQ protocols that are collocated at a common queue manager. The shared abstract data model is defined in [MS-MQDMPR] section 3.1.1, and the relationship between this protocol, a queue manager, and other protocols that share a queue manager is described in [MS-MQOD].

Section 3.2.1.1 references the ADM elements from the shared data model that are manipulated by this protocol.

Section 3.2.1.2 describes the ADM elements that are specific to the server side of this protocol.
