V5 JMS server settings
The JMS functions on a V5 node in a deployment manager cell are served by a JMS server. Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected JMS server.
JMS servers are supported only to aid migration of WebSphere Application Server V5 nodes to WAS V6.
You can use this panel to configure a general set of JMS server properties, which add to the default values of properties configured automatically for the V5 default messaging provider.
JMS servers make use of WebSphere MQ properties and, in general, the default values of those properties are adequate. However, if you are running high messaging loads, you may need to change some WebSphere MQ properties; for example, properties for log file locations, file pages, and buffer pages. For more information about configuring WebSphere MQ properties, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration book, SC33-1873, which is available from the IBM Publications Center or from the WebSphere MQ collection kit, SK2T-0730.
