The following IBM WebSphere MQ Family SupportPac has been released:
EC01: MQSeries Everyplace - Configuration guide
This SupportPac describes how to configure MQSeries Everyplace queue managers and networks. It complements the existing product publications and contains code samples and configuration data appropriate to common usage scenarios. It provides the basic information to allow MQe networks to be configured. This includes:

Establishing the routes taken through an MQe network
Exercising control over the protocols used
Determining, if appropriate, where messages are staged
Providing an appreciation of the options available and their associated trade-offs
The SupportPac supplies examples in Java only. MQe also provides a C interface to the Java, as well as a 100% native C implementation. It is anticipated that the Java used is sufficiently simple that most readers will be able to extrapolate to C bearing in mind that the MQe C bindings map closely to their Java counterparts.

The following IBM WebSphere MQ Family SupportPacs have been updated:
