# Using the MQSeries Event Generator

The MQSeries event generator polls the MQSeries queue for messages and publishes them to WebLogic message broker channels. The MQSeries event generator supports three different data types, that is, Bytes, String and XML.

You can configure event generator channels for different data types, using a Message Broker channel name, which instructs that any message coming into the specified MQSeries queue will be published to that message broker channel.

Similar to the MQSeries control, the MQSeries event generator also provides two modes of connections, that is, TCP-IP and Bindings. You can also implement content-filters to filter messages based on the specific content that you want. By doing this, you can ensure that you generate events only for the messages that you require.

The MQSeries event generator can also spawn multiple threads of events. Each thread can separately poll the MQSeries queue. You can configure the number of messages to be picked by the event generator thread in each poll.
