MQ queue destination settings

Overview

A queue destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS queue. Connections to the queue are created by the associated queue connection factory for the MQ JMS provider. A queue for use with the MQ JMS provider has the following properties.

The property values that you specify must match the values that you specified when configuring MQ JMS resources.
In MQ, names can have a maximum of 48 characters, with the exception of channels which have a maximum of 20 characters.

To configure, go to:

Resources | MQ JMS Provider | MQ Queue Destinations | destination_name

Parameters

Name

The name by which the queue is known for administrative purposes within IBM WAS.

Data type String

JNDI name

The JNDI name that is used to bind the queue into the application server's name space.
As a convention, use the fully qualified JNDI name; for example, in the form jms/Name, where Name is the logical name of the resource.
This name is used to link the platform binding information. The binding associates the resources defined by the deployment descriptor of the module to the actual (physical) resources bound into JNDI by the platform.

Data type String

Description

A description of the queue, for administrative purposes

Data type String
Default Null

Category

A category used to classify or group this queue, for your IBM WAS administrative records.

Data type String

Persistence

Whether all messages sent to the destination are persistent, non-persistent, or have their persistence defined by the application

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range

Application defined

Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the application that put them onto the queue.

Queue defined

[MQ destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the MQ queue definition properties.

Persistent

Messages on the destination are persistent.

Non persistent

Messages on the destination are not persistent.

Priority

Whether the message priority for this destination is defined by the application or the Specified priority property

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range

Application defined

The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the application that put them onto the destination.

Queue defined

[MQ destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the MQ queue definition properties.

Specified

The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the Specified priority property.If you select this option, define a priority on the Specified priority property.

Specified priority

If the Priority property is set to Specified , type here the message priority for this queue, in the range 0 (lowest) through 9 (highest)
If the Priority property is set to Specified , messages sent to this queue have the priority value specified by this property.

Data type Integer
Units Message priority level
Default Null
Range 0 (lowest priority) through 9 (highest priority)

Expiry

Whether the expiry timeout for this queue is defined by the application or the Specified expiry property, or messages on the queue never expire (have an unlimited expiry timeout)

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range

Application defined

The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the application that put them onto the queue.

Specified

The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the Specified expiry property.If you select this option, define a timeout on the Specified expiry property.

Unlimited

Messages on this queue have no expiry timeout, so those messages never expire.

Specified expiry

If the Expiry timeout property is set to Specified , type here the number of milliseconds (greater than 0) after which messages on this queue expire

Data type Integer
Units Milliseconds
Default Null
Range Greater than or equal to 0

0 indicates that messages never timeout
Other values are an integer number of milliseconds

Base queue name

The name of the queue to which messages are sent, on the queue manager specified by the Base queue manager name property

Data type String
Default Null
Range 1 through 48 ASCII characters

Base queue manager name

The name of the MQ queue manager to which messages are sent
This queue manager provides the queue specified by the Base queue name property.

Data type String
Units En_US ASCII characters
Default Null
Range A valid MQ Queue Manager name, as 1 through 48 ASCII characters

CCSID

The coded character set identifier for use with the MQ queue manager.
This coded character set identifier (CCSID) must be one of the CCSIDs supported by MQ.

Data type String
Units Integer
Default Null
Range 1 through 65535

For more information about supported CCSIDs, and about converting between message data from one coded character set to another, see the MQ System Administration and the MQ Application Programming Reference books. These are available from the MQ messaging multiplatform and platform-specific books Web pages; for example, at

http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/manuals/platspecific.html , the

IBM Publications Center , or from the MQ collection kit, SK2T-0730.

Use native encoding

Select this checkbox to indicate that the queue destination should use native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default Cleared
Range

Cleared

Native encoding is not used, so specify the properties below for integer, decimal, and floating point encoding.

Selected

Native encoding is used (to provide appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).

For more information about encoding.properties, see the MQ Using Java document.

Integer encoding

If native encoding is not enabled, select whether integer encoding is normal or reversed.

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default NORMAL
Range

NORMAL

Normal integer encoding is used.

REVERSED

Reversed integer encoding is used.

For more information about encoding.properties, see the MQ Using Java document.

Decimal encoding

If native encoding is not enabled, select whether decimal encoding is normal or reversed.

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default NORMAL
Range

NORMAL

Normal decimal encoding is used.

REVERSED

Reversed decimal encoding is used.

For more information about encoding.properties, see the MQ Using Java document.

Floating point encoding

If native encoding is not enabled, select the type of floating point encoding.

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default IEEENORMAL
Range

IEEENORMAL

IEEE normal floating point encoding is used.

IEEEREVERSED

IEEE reversed floating point encoding is used.

S390

S390 floating point encoding is used.

For more information about encoding.properties, see the MQ Using Java document.

Target client

Whether the receiving application is JMS-compliant or is a traditional MQ application

Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default MQSeries
Range

MQSeries

The target is a non-JMS, traditional MQ application.

JMS

The target is a JMS-compliant application.

Queue manager host

Range A valid TCP/IP hostname

Queue manager port

The number of the port used by the queue manager on which this queue is defined.

Data type String
