Configure a JMS topic connection factory for WebSphere MQ

 

Use this task to browse or configure a JMS topic connection factory for publish/subscribe messaging with WebSphere MQ as a messaging provider. This task contains an optional step for you to create a new JMS topic connection factory.

 

Overview

With JMS 1.1, the preferred approach is to use unified JMS connection factories instead of the domain-specific JMS queue connection factory and JMS topic connection factory. To configure a unified JMS connection factory, see Configure a unified JMS connection factory, for WebSphere MQ.

To configure a topic connection factory for use with the WebSphere MQ as a messaging provider, use the console to complete the following steps:

 

Procedure

1. Display the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. In the navigation pane, expand Resources > JMS > JMS Providers.

2. Select the WebSphere MQ provider for which you want to configure a topic connection factory.

    

3. Optional: Change the Scope setting to the level at which the connection factory is visible to applications.

4. In the contents pane, under Additional Properties, click Topic connection factories This displays a table listing any existing JMS topic connection factories, with a summary of their properties.

5. To browse or change an existing JMS topic connection factory, click its name in the list. Otherwise, to create a new connection factory, complete the following steps:

   1. Click New in the content pane.

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

      Name

      The name by which this destination is known for administrative purposes within IBM WAS.

      JNDI Name

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

      CCSID

      The coded character set identifier for use with the WebSphere MQ queue manager; for example: 850.

   3. Click Apply. This defines the destination to WAS, and enables you to browse or change additional properties.

    

6. Optional: Change properties for the topic connection factory, according to your needs.

    

7. Optional: Change connection pool properties and session pool properties, according to your needs.

8. Click OK.

9. Save any changes to the master configuration.

10. To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the appserver.
