1.6 Applicability Statement

  • Article

This protocol provides functionality for message queuing applications to perform operations on a remote supporting server.

The server side of the Message Queuing (MSMQ): Queue Manager Client Protocol is applicable for implementation by a queue manager providing supporting server services to applications. The client side of this protocol is applicable for implementation by client libraries providing message queuing services to applications, or by a queue manager delegating requests on behalf of a client.

Due to performance and security limitations, this protocol is deprecated and suitable only for interoperability with existing legacy servers and clients.<1> Implementers of new message queuing applications are encouraged to invoke the MSMQ COM API remotely via DCOM in preference to the capabilities specified by the Message Queuing (MSMQ): Queue Manager Client Protocol.
