Object names

 

The naming convention adopted for WebSphere MQ objects depends on the object.

Each instance of a queue manager is known by its name. This name must be unique within the network of interconnected queue managers, so that one queue manager can unambiguously identify the target queue manager to which any given message is sent.

For the other types of object, each object has a name associated with it and can be referred to by that name. These names must be unique within one queue manager and object type. For example, we can have a queue and a process with the same name, but we cannot have two queues with the same name.

In WebSphere MQ, names can have a maximum of 48 characters, with the exception of channels which have a maximum of 20 characters. For more information about names, see Names of WebSphere MQ objects.
