The following steps provide an overview of the tasks required to set up and run QAnywhere messaging.

To set up and run QAnywhere messaging

1. Set up a server message store or use an existing MobiLink consolidated database.

   See Setting up the server message store.

2. Start the MobiLink server with the -m option and a connection to the server message store.

   See Starting QAnywhere with MobiLink enabled.

3. Set up client message stores. These are SQL Anywhere or UltraLite databases that are used to temporarily store messages.

   See Setting up the client message store.

4. For each client, write a messaging application.

   See Writing QAnywhere client applications.

5. If you want to integrate with an external JMS messaging system, set up JMS messaging for QAnywhere.

   See Connectors.

6. For each client, start the QAnywhere Agent with a connection to the local client message store.

   See Starting the QAnywhere agent.
