:: Overview

Cressida SynQuest™ for WebSphere® MQ is a highly optimized production strength replication and synchronization tool utilizing the MQI API exit facility. It is designed to keep the content of WMQ queues on separate queue managers synchronised by performing a MirrorQ type application. SynQuest provides a solution for maintaining disaster recovery backups of queue managers in those cases where a hardware (i.e. mirrored disks) solution is impractical due to distance or associated hardware costs.

SynQuest is a user-configurable tool that utilizes the power and functionality of the WMQ API Exit to intercept WMQ API calls and keep the content of selected queues on one queue manager in sync with same-named queues on another queue manager anywhere in the WMQ environment.

This is achieved by intercepting all puts and gets on selected queues and replicating the messages (puts) and forwarding information of the gets to the target queue manager thus offering a supported and highly optimized multi-platform MirrorQ functionality for disaster recovery and other replication applications. SynQuest uses WMQ as the transport agent for messages and replication information.
