B Stability of Message Queue Interfaces

Message Queue uses many interfaces that can help administrators automate tasks. This appendix classifies the interfaces according to their stability. The more stable an interface is, the less likely it is to change in subsequent versions of the product.

Any interface that is not listed in this appendix is private and not for customer use.

Classification Scheme

Table B-1 describes the stability classification scheme.

Table B-1 Interface Stability Classification Scheme

Classification Description

Private

Not for direct use by customers. May change or be removed in any release.

Evolving

For use by customers. Subject to incompatible change at a major (e.g. 3.0, 4.0) or minor (e.g. 3.1, 3.2) release. The changes will be made carefully and slowly. Reasonable efforts will be made to ensure that all changes are compatible but that is not guaranteed.

Stable

For use by customers. Subject to incompatible change at a major (for example, 3.0 or 4.0) release only.

Standard

For use by customers. These interfaces are defined by a formal standard, and controlled by a standards organization. Incompatible changes to these interfaces are rare.

Unstable

For use by customers. Subject to incompatible change at a major (e.g. 3.0, 4.0) or minor (e.g. 3.1, 3.2) release. Customers are advised that these interfaces may be removed or changed substantially and in an incompatible way in a future release. It is recommended that customers not create explicit dependencies on unstable interfaces.
