# Preface

Oracle Procedural Gateway and Tools for WebSphere MQ provides access to WebSphere MQ services. This gateway requires a system that is capable of running 64-bit applications.

## Intended Audience

This guide is intended for anyone responsible for installing, configuring, or administering the Oracle Procedural Gateway for WebSphere MQ. It is also for developers writing applications that access message queuing systems, particularly those developers who need to access queues owned by both WebSphere MQ and other non-Oracle message queuing systems as well as queues owned by Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ).

Read this guide if you are responsible for tasks such as:

- Administering the gateway

- Setting up gateway security

- Using the gateway

- Diagnosing gateway errors

Before using this guide, you must understand the fundamentals of your operating system, the procedural gateways, PL/SQL, the Oracle server, and WebSphere MQ software before using this guide to install, configure, or administer the gateway.

This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
