Usha, The Security Exit can be used to prevent unauthorized use of the channel connecting to the Queue Manager, where the OAM would be used to protect the actual MQ resources (i.e. Queues). With the OAM you can prevent people from accessing the messages in the queues locally, without using distributed queuing and channels.

If i have a security exit running on the QueueManager, the QueueManager is protected right ? No third party user can get to my QueueManager unless and until their client code initiates the security exit on the client side which then talks to the server side security exit in order to establish a connection. Btw, the scenario i am looking at is a windows client server environment and both MQ series client and server are at version 5.3.
