Configure a V5 WebSphere queue destination

Use this task to browse or change the properties of a JMS queue destination for point-to-point messaging by WAS version 5 applications. This task contains an optional step for you to create a new topic destination.

 

Overview

To configure a JMS queue destination for use by WebSphere application server v5 applications, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

 

Procedure

  1. Display the v5 default messaging provider. In the navigation pane, expand Resources > JMS Providers > V5 Default Messaging .

  2. Optional: Change the Scope setting to the level at which the JMS destination is visible to applications. If you define a V5 JMS resource at the Cell scope level, all users in the cell can look up and use that JMS resource.

  3. In the content pane, under Additional Properties, click WebSphere queue destinations This displays any existing queue destinations for the V5 default messaging provider in the content pane.

  4. To browse or change an existing JMS queue destination, click its name in the list. Otherwise, to create a new queue destination, complete the following steps:

    1. Click New in the content pane.

    2. Specify the following required properties. We can specify other properties, as described in a later step.

      Name

      The name by which this queue destination is known for administrative purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server.

      JNDI Name

      The JNDI name that is used to bind the queue destination into the name space.

    3. Click Apply. This defines the queue destination to WebSphere Application Server, and enables you to browse or change additional properties.

  5. Optional: Change href="Version_5_WebSphere_queue_destination_settings.html">properties for the queue destination, according to your needs.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Save any changes to the master configuration.

  8. To make a queue destination available to applications, we need to host the queue on a JMS server. To add a new queue to a JMS server or to change an existing queue on a JMS server, you define the administrative name of the queue to the JMS server, as described in Manage V5 JMS servers in a deployment manager cell.

  9. To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the application server.
