Abstract
The present invention discloses a queue manager that includes a smart alias function. The smart alias function can associate a queue name with two or more queues. The queues associated with the queue name for a given operation can be dependent upon programmatically determinable conditions. For example, the queue name (Queue A) can cause a message to be put in a Queue Awhen smart aliased. The same queue name (Queue A) can cause a message to be retrieved from Queue Awhen smart aliased. Additional processing can be performed against messages placed in Queue Aand post processed messages can be placed in Queue AThe queue manager can be a component that receives digitally encoded messages, that stores the received digitally encoded messages, and that provides the digitally encoded messages to authorized requesting software applications. The queue manager and the smart alias function can be software/firmware.
