Configure a queue destination, WebSphere MQ JMS provider

Use this task to configure the properties of a queue destination for use with the WebSphere MQ JMS provider. This task contains an optional step for you to create a new queue destination.

 

Overview

To configure the properties of a queue destination for use with the WebSphere MQ JMS provider, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation pane, click Resources-> WebSphere MQ JMS Provider This displays in the content pane a table of properties for the WebSphere JMS provider, including links to the types of JMS resources supported by the JMS provider.

  2. (Optional)   Change the Scope check box to Cell, Node, or Server, according to your needs.

  3. In the contents pane, under Additional Properties, click WebSphere MQ Queue DestinationsThis displays a table listing any existing queue destinations, with a summary of their properties.

  4. To define a new queue destination, click New in the content pane. Otherwise, to change the properties of an existing queue destination, click one of the destinations displayed.This displays the properties for the queue destination in the content pane.

  5. Configure appropriate properties for the queue destination.

  6. (Optional)   If you want WebSphere Application Server to try to use the WebSphere MQ queue manager's remote administration utilities to create the queue, configure the WebSphere MQ Queue Connection properties.

    If you have already created your underlying queue in WebSphere MQ using its administration tools (such as runmqsc or MQ Explorer), you do not need to configure any of the WebSphere MQ Queue Connection properties. You only need to configure these properties if you want WebSphere Application Server to try to use the WebSphere MQ queue manager's remote administration utilities to create the queue.

    Note: For any changes to these properties to take effect on the queue manager, the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager on which the queue resides (or will reside) must be configured for remote administration and be running.

    For more details about these properties, see WebSphere MQ config properties for the queue destination.

  7. Click Apply.

  8. To save your configuration, click Save on the task bar of the Administrative console window.

  9. To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the appserver.
