Service component stanza format

 

The format of the Service component stanza is:

  ServiceComponent:
    Service=<service_name>
    Name=<component_name>
    Module=<module_name>
    ComponentDataSize=<size>

where:

<service_name>

The name of the service. This must match the Name specified in a service stanza.

<component_name>

A descriptive name of the service component. This must be unique, and contain only the characters that are valid for the names of WebSphere MQ objects (for example, queue names). This name occurs in operator messages generated by the service. We recommend that you use a name starting with a company trademark or similar distinguishing string.

<module_name>

The name of the module to contain the code for this component. Specify a full path name.

<size>

The size in bytes of the component data area passed to the component on each call. Specify zero if no component data is required.

These two stanzas can appear in any order and the stanza keys under them can also appear in any order. For either of these stanzas, all the stanza keys must be present. If a stanza key is duplicated, the last one is used.

At startup time, the queue manager processes each service component entry in the configuration file in turn. It then loads the specified component module, invoking the entry-point of the component (which must be the entry-point for initialization of the component), passing it a configuration handle.
