how to connect IBM MQ via APIGEE ?

[chandresholaniy]

I want to connect IBM MQ via APIGEE for read in and writing data in queue. Is it supported? If yes is there any documentation, recommendation etc about steps to achieve it.

There is no out-of-the-box solution for this. You need to rely on JavaCallout policy.

I dont have a solution but you can look at these posts,

@sidd-harth @dino  any latest updates to support MQ for ApigeeX or Apigee Hybrid ?

Apigee has launched a set of Connectors with Apigee X. A Connector to IBM MQ is on the roadmap. It is expected that customers can use Connectors via Apigee Integration with Apigee X acting as a gateway to integration flows. For ex: 

client application -> Apigee X [API security and other gateway features] -> Apigee Integration [for data mapping and orchestrations] -> Connectors [for connectivity]

Do we have options for Apigee hybrid proxies to connect to IBM MQ Series (without using Application Integration) ?

The options that I know of:

• use Google Cloud App Integration (and the MQ connector). 
• configure MQ to use an HTTP listener (instructions here) and invoke it as a REST target
