MSMQ Adapter connects to one queue at run time; that queue can be either public or private. You can configure one or more connections at design time to use in integrations. The number of connections you configure, and the types of those connections, depend on the number of queues that you are connecting to and your integration needs.

MSMQ Adapter connections contain parameters that Integration Server uses to manage connections to the queue. MSMQ Adapter uses these connections to provide services. You configure connections using Integration Server Administrator. You must have Integration Server administrator privileges to access MSMQ Adapter administrative screens.

For instructions to configure and manage MSMQ Adapter connections, see Adapter Connections. For more information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.

For a list of tasks that you must complete before you can create your connections, see Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Connections.
