MQSeries topic destination settings for application clients

A topic destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS topic for the associated JMS provider. Connections to the topic are created by the associated topic connection factory.

The property values that you specify must match the values that you specified when configuring MQSeries JMS resources.

In MQSeries, names can have a maximum of 48 characters, with the exception of channels which have a maximum of 20 characters.

Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected topic destination for use with the MQSeries JMS provider.

The following fields appear on the General tab.

Name

The name by which the topic is known for administrative purposes.

Data type	String
Units	En_US ASCII characters
Default	Null
Range	1 through 30 ASCII characters

Description

A description of the topic, for administrative purposes

Data type	String
Units	En_US ASCII characters
Default	Null
Range	1 through 30 ASCII characters

JNDI Name

The application client run-time uses this field to retreive configuration information. The name must match the value of the Name field on the General tab in the Application Client Resource Reference section of the Application Assembly Tool.

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 [WebSphere MQ JMS queue destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the WebSphere 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. 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 Topic Name

The name of the topic to which messages are sent

Data type	String
Units	En_US ASCII characters
Default	Null
Range	1 through 30 ASCII characters

CCSID

The coded character set identifier for use with the WebSphere MQ queue manager.

This coded character set identifier (CCSID) must be one of the CCSIDs supported by WebSphere MQ.

Data type	String
Units	En_US ASCII characters
Default	Null
Range	1 through 30 ASCII characters

For more information about supported CCSIDs, and about converting between message data from one coded character set to another, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration 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 WebSphere 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 WebSphere 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 WebSphere MQ Using Java document.

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 above 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 MQSeries Using Java document.

BrokerDurSubQueue

The name of the broker queue from which durable subscription messages are retrieved

The name of the broker queue from which durable subscription messages are retrieved. The subscriber specifies the name of the queue when it registers a subscription.

Data type	String
Units	En_US ASCII characters
Default	Null
Range	1 through 48 ASCII characters

BrokerCCDurSubQueue

The name of the broker queue from which durable subscription messages are retrieved for a ConnectionConsumer. This property applies only for use of the Web container.

Default	MQSeries
Range	MQSeries The target is a non-JMS, traditional MQSeries application. JMS The target is a JMS-compliant application.

Custom Properties

Specifies name-value pairs for setting additional properties on the object that is created at runtime for this resource.

You must enter a name that is a public property on the object and a value that can be converted from a string to the type required by the set method of the property. The accectable properties and values depend on the object that is created. Refer to the object documentation for a list of valid properties and values.
