- Highlights:
- MQ V9.2.1 base provides the following:
- Enhancements to the MQ Console
- Enhancements to MQ Script commands (MQSC)
- The authority model has been simplified for MQ running in containers to enable you to define permissions for users without the users having to exist in an LDAP server.
- IBM MQ supports autoscaling based on queue depth, using the Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaler (KEDA).
- Support for point-to-point messaging via Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP)
- Improved client Server Name Indicator (SNI) flexibility so that users can choose to set a custom hostname instead of a channel name in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) SNI header
- Managed File Transfer (MFT) enhancements
- IBM MQ Advanced MFT protocol bridge agent enhancements enable users to choose to limit file transfers per File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Secure FTP (SFTP) endpoint to reduce the risk of bottlenecks and effectively prioritize file transfers.
- The IBM MQ Advanced MFT file logger component is part of the redistributable MFT package to enable customers to optionally copy published information about actions for analysis and auditing purposes.
- MQ Appliance V9.2.1 firmware includes the capabilities in MQ V9.2.1 and is available for the following appliances:
- MQ Appliance M2001
- MQ Appliance M2002
