WebSphere MQ object names
The names of the following WebSphere MQ objects can have up to 48 single-byte characters:
- Queue managers
- Queues
- Process definitions
- Namelists
The names of channels are restricted to 20 single-byte characters.
The characters that can be used for all WebSphere MQ names are:
- Uppercase A-Z
- Numerics 0-9
- Period (.)
- Underscore (_)
- Lowercase a-z (see note 1)
- Forward slash (/) (see note 1)
- Percent sign (%) (see note 1)
Notes:
- Lowercase a-z, forward slash, and percent are special characters. If you use any of these characters in a name, the name must be enclosed in quotation marks. (Lowercase a-z characters are changed to uppercase if the name is not enclosed in quotation marks.)
We cannot use lowercase characters on systems using EBCDIC Katakana.
- Leading or embedded blanks are not allowed.
