Wildcard schemes

There are two wildcard schemes used to subscribe to multiple topics. The choice of scheme is a subscription option.

    MQSO_WILDCARD_TOPIC
    Select topics to subscribe to using the topic-based wildcard scheme.
    This is the default if no wildcard schema is explicitly selected.

    MQSO_WILDCARD_CHAR
    Select topics to subscribe to using the character-based wildcard scheme.

Set either scheme by specifying the wschema parameter on the DEFINE SUB command. For more information, see DEFINE SUB.

Note: Subscriptions that were created before IBM® WebSphere MQ Version 7.0 always use the character-based wildcard scheme.
