Defining queues

 

Queues are defined to WebSphere MQ using:

• The MQSC command DEFINE

• The PCF Create Queue command

The commands specify the type of queue and its attributes. For example, a local queue object has attributes that specify what happens when applications reference that queue in MQI calls. Examples of attributes are:

• Whether applications can retrieve messages from the queue (GET enabled)

• Whether applications can put messages on the queue (PUT enabled)

• Whether access to the queue is exclusive to one application or shared between applications

• The maximum number of messages that can be stored on the queue at the same time (maximum queue depth)

• The maximum length of messages that can be put on the queue

For further details about defining queue objects, see the WebSphere MQ Script (MQSC) Command Reference or WebSphere MQ Programmable Command Formats and Administration Interface.
