WebSphere MQ Provider topic destination settings for application clients
Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected topic destination for use with the WebSphere MQ product Java Message Service (JMS) provider.
To view this Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT) page, click File > Open. After you browse for an EAR file, click Open. Expand the selected JAR file > Messaging Providers > WebSphere MQ Provider. Right click Topic Destinations, and click New. The following fields are displayed on the General tab.
- The property values specified must match the values specified when configuring WebSphere MQ product JMS resources. For more information about configuring WebSphere MQ product JMS resources, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java book.
- In WebSphere MQ, names can have a maximum of 48 characters.
A topic destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS topic for the associated JMS provider. A topic for use with the WebSphere MQ product JMS provider has the following properties.
Name
The name by which the topic is known for administrative purposes.
Data type String
Description
A description of the topic for administrative purposes within IBM WAS.
JNDI Name
The application client run time uses this field to retrieve configuration information.
Persistence
Specify whether all messages sent to the destination are persistent, nonpersistent, or have their persistence defined by the application.
Data type Enum Default APPLICATION_DEFINED Range
- Application defined
- Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the application that put them in the queue.
- Queue defined
- [WebSphere MQ destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the WebSphere MQ queue definition properties.
- Persistent
- Messages on the destination are persistent.
- Nonpersistent
- Messages on the destination are not persistent.
Priority
Specify whether the message priority for this destination is defined by the application or the Specified priority property.
Data type Enum Default APPLICATION_DEFINED Range
- Application defined
- The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the application that put them in the destination.
- Queue defined
- [WebSphere MQ destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the WebSphere MQ queue definition properties.
- Specified
- The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the Specified priority property. If you select this option, define a priority for the Specified priority property.
Specified Priority
If the Priority property is set to Specified, type the message priority for this queue, in the range 0 (lowest) through 9 (highest).
If the Priority property is set to Specified, messages sent to this queue have the priority value specified by this property.
Data type Integer Units Message priority level Range 0 (lowest priority) through 9 (highest priority)
Expiry
Whether the expiry timeout for this queue is defined by the application or by the Specified expiry property or by messages on the queue never expire (have an unlimited expiry timeout).
Data type Enum Default APPLICATION_DEFINED Range
- Application defined
- The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the application that put them in the queue.
- Specified
- The expiry timeout for messages in this queue is defined by the Specified expiry property. If you select this option, define a timeout value for the Specified expiry property.
- Unlimited
- Messages on this queue have no expiry timeout, and these messages never expire.
Specified Expiry
If the Expiry timeout property is set to Specified, type the number of milliseconds (greater than 0) after which messages on this queue expire.
Data type Integer Units Milliseconds Range Greater than or equal to 0
- 0 indicates that messages never time out.
- Other values are an integer number of milliseconds.
Base Topic Name
The name of the topic to which messages are sent.
Data type String
CCSID
The coded character set identifier to use with the WebSphere MQ queue manager.
This coded character set identifier (CCSID) must be one of the CCSID identifiers that WebSphere MQ supports.
Data type String Units Integer Range 1 through 65535
Integer encoding
Indicates whether integer encoding is normal or reversed when native encoding is not enabled.
Data type Enum Default NORMAL Range
- NORMAL
- Normal integer encoding is used.
- REVERSED
- Reversed integer encoding is used.
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Use Java document.
Decimal encoding
If native encoding is not enabled, select whether decimal encoding is normal or reversed.
Data type Enum Default NORMAL Range
- NORMAL
- Normal decimal encoding is used.
- REVERSED
- Reversed decimal encoding is used.
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Use Java document.
Floating point encoding
Indicates the type of floating point encoding when native encoding is not enabled.
Data type Enum Default IEEENORMAL Range
- IEEENORMAL
- IEEE normal floating point encoding is used.
- IEEEREVERSED
- IEEE reversed floating point encoding is used.
- S390
- S/390 floating point encoding is used.
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Use Java document.
Native encoding
Indicates that the queue destination uses native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform) when you select this check box.
Data type Enum Default Cleared Range
- Cleared
- Native encoding is not used, so specify the previous properties for integer, decimal and floating point encoding.
- Selected
- Native encoding is used (to provide appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Use Java document.
BrokerDurSubQueue
The name of the broker queue from which durable subscription messages are retrieved.
The subscriber specifies the name of the queue when it registers a subscription.
Data type String Units En_US ASCII characters Range 1 through 48 ASCII characters
BrokerCCDurSubQueue
The name of the broker queue from which durable subscription messages are retrieved for a ConnectionConsumer. This property applies only for use of the Web container.
Data type String Units En_US ASCII characters Range 1 through 48 ASCII characters
Target Client
Specify whether the receiving application is JMS compliant or is a traditional WebSphere MQ application.
Data type Enum Default WebSphere MQ Range
- WebSphere MQ
- The target is a traditional WebSphere MQ application that does not support JMS.
- JMS
- The target is a JMS compliant application.
Multicast
Specify whether this connection factory uses multicast transport.
Data type Enum Default AS_CF Range
- AS_CF
- This connection factory uses multicast transport.
- DISABLED
- This connection factory does not use multicast transport.
- NOT_RELIABLE
- This connection factory always uses multicast transport.
- RELIABLE
- This connection factory uses multicast transport when the topic destination is not reliable.
- ENABLED
- This connection factory uses reliable multicast transport.
