A queue manager on which the interface queues are not located, but on which they are defined as cluster queues. Such a queue manager is called a gateway queue manager.
Created 3 QMGRS in TEST cluster

Here FR1 and FR2 actually hold the interface queue .Ex QL1
Application connecting to GRQM doenst hold the actual Queue but puts a message into an interface queue because the queue is not managed by GWQM .GWQM checks its cluster queue defninitions.It recognizes that QL1 is managed by FR1,Fr2 so GWQM puts the message to QL1 on one of the QMGR's (FR1,FR2). subsequent messages will be load balenced to FR1 and FR2
define ql(QL1) cluster(Test) defbind(notfixed)
Defined QL1 on Both FR1 and FR2
Sending 10 messages to QL1 using GWQM
bash-4.4$ cat put.sh
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 10` ; do
echo "Sending $i message"
echo "Test MSG $i" |/opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsput QL1 GWQM >/dev/null 2>&1
done
bash-4.4$Verify the messages on FR1 QL1
bash-4.4$ /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsget QL1 FR1 Sample AMQSGET0 start message <Test MSG 2> message <Test MSG 4> message <Test MSG 6> message <Test MSG 8> message <Test MSG 10> no more messages Sample AMQSGET0 end bash-4.4$
Verify the messages on FR2 QL1
bash-4.4$ /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsget QL1 FR2 Sample AMQSGET0 start message <Test MSG 1> message <Test MSG 3> message <Test MSG 5> message <Test MSG 7> message <Test MSG 9> no more messages Sample AMQSGET0 end bash-4.4$
Messages can also be routed to a gateway queue manager from queue managers that are external to the cluster. Refer below Diagram .
Application have its own QMGR (non-cluster) and it connects to GWQM . If the Application side has another MQ cluster then GWQM will be used to OverLap two cluster's
