3.1.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with what is described in this document.

The abstract data model for this protocol comprises elements that are private to this protocol and others that are shared among multiple MSMQ protocols that are co-located at a common queue manager. The shared abstract data model is defined in [MS-MQDMPR] section 3.1.1, and the relationship between this protocol, a queue manager, and other protocols that share a common queue manager is described in [MS-MQOD].

Section 3.1.1.1 details the elements from the shared data model that are manipulated by this protocol, and section 3.1.1.2 details the data model elements that are private to this protocol.
