Service Broker connection

Question

Hi all,

I was asked by my development team a question about MS Service Broker 2005 and if it can pull a message out of a IBM MQ message queue.  I was under the impression that The MS broker can read a MQ message.  The developer seems that function is only in BizTalk server.
TIA

The answer is no, not "out of the box". Broker can only retrieve messages out of broker queues. However, it'd be fairly simple to code up something that also read off messages from an MQ queue.
