Brokers for clients (POS) question
Hello,
We are looking at implementing a MOM system for our business. Our system will have one or two main back office systems (BOS) as the host and many, many clients/point of sales (POS) sending transactions to the BOS. Its my understanding that the POS's will need a broker in order to send and receive messages. My question is, do we need to purchase the $4.000 licence for each POS system? It looks to me we just need the licence for each BOS system. Please verify this.
Thanks much

The broker is licensed per CPU, so if you must run a broker at the POS sites then they would need to be licensed.
Depending on your application architecture, network topology, # of POS sites, etc. you may be able to have the POS sites be client only and connect directly to the back office (possible on an as-needed basis) -- bypassing the need for a broker at the POS site.
Also, the current (3.X) multi-broker clustering support in JSMQ basically makes multiple brokers operate as one virtual broker: destinations are propogated across the cluster, you can use any physical broker to access any destination, etc. Sometimes this is not what you want in a geographically disperse deployment.
