Queues that are generated, or created, by an application or the Message Queuing administrator are often referred to as application queues. Depending on the service provided by the queue, application queues can be public or private, and they can be transactional or nontransactional (for example, administration queues cannot be transactional).

Application queues may appear in the following roles:

  • Destination queues—any queue that the sending application sends messages to or that the receiving application reads messages from.

  • Administration queues—queues used for acknowledgment messages returned by Message Queuing or connector applications.

  • Response queues—queues used by receiving applications to return response messages to the sending application.

  • Report queues—queues used to store report messages returned by Message Queuing.
