Support remote MQ for FTE node

In the new way of deploying AppConnect on Kubernetes, the support of a local MQ queue manager (within the same pod) has been not recommended or at least not promoted.

The recommendation is to have a remote queue manager.

The FTE node in ACE still require to have a local queue manager which prevent customer to migrate easily their ACE installation on k8s.

Would it be possible to provide the ability to use remote queue manager for FTE nodes ?

    I also have a customer with this problem. We have a workaround for now but it's not ideal.

    Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request which we agree would improve the product. As you're probably aware, we have been pursuing a long term technical strategy for replacing the product's need for MQ server bindings to a local queue manager with MQ client bindings to a remote queue manager. The majority of functional uses of MQ have been dealt with, but the topic of this request still remains and it is something we would like to address in a future release. Status of the idea is updated to Future Consideration.
