This section describes the MSMQ agents. This agent is only available for Real-Time workflow configurations.

There are two types of MSMQ agents:

• MSMQ Collection Agent

• MSMQ Processing Agent

The MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing) Agent enables Usage Engine to act as an MSMQ client communicating with an MSMQ server. MSMQ is a messaging protocol that allows applications running on separate servers/processes to communicate in a failsafe manner. A queue is a temporary storage location from which messages can be sent and received reliably, as and when conditions permit.
