MSMQ Adapter is provided as a package called WmMSMQAdapter. You manage the WmMSMQAdapter package as you would manage any package on Integration Server.

When you create connections, adapter services, adapter notifications, and adapter listeners, define them in user-defined packages rather than in the WmMSMQAdapter package. Doing this allows you to manage the packages more easily, especially when you need to upgrade a deployed adapter. You can create all the connections and adapter services of an adapter in one package, or you can distribute them among multiple packages. For more information about creating packages, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.

As you create user-defined packages, use the package management functionality provided in Designer and set the user-defined packages to have a dependency on the WmMSMQAdapter package.
