Windows MQ can connect to z/OS MQ. I use it, it's designed for such
connections.
However Imothy wrote about *another product*, product from Microsoft.
And it's very likely that M$ did not released version for z/OS.

I don't think so.

Subject: Re: MQ alternatives
WebSphere MQ is also a (most excellent) Java Message Service provider for
z/OS, which is probably why the vendor recommended it. WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS also provides JMS support, but then you'd have
to figure out how to interface WAS to whatever else you want (i.e. your
mainframe applications). One popular way would be via.... WebSphere MQ. :-)
Conceivably you could cobble something JMS together and run it on Java on
z/OS, but then you'd be responsible for the stream of costs associated with
creating, maintaining, and managing it, plus you'd have to figure out how
to connect it. (You could write your own operating system, too, if you
really want.) Considering that you're asking about a vendor application
that you're buying instead of building, you've probably already ruled out
building.
Microsoft Message Queuing runs only on Windows (last I checked), so if you
want to connect Windows systems to this vendor application, that's an
option. You can't run it on z/OS (or on several other operating systems),
so you'd need something else to bridge between Microsoft and any other
platform (including z/OS), and that bridge would have to be a Windows
system. And then you'd need to buy, maintain, and manage that, plus figure
out how to connect it. Other bridge approaches are possible, with the same
issue.
Note that WebSphere MQ for z/OS is sub-capacity licensed.
Maybe the vendor is correct.
