WebSphere MQ link routing properties [Settings]

The routing properties for a link to a foreign bus that represents a WebSphere MQ network.

To view this page in the console, click the following path:

Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Foreign bus connections -> foreign_bus_name -> link_name.

Create one of these routing definitions before we can create a WebSphere MQ link.

For information about setting up communication with WebSphere MQ, see the Intercommunication section of the WebSphere MQ information center.

Configuration tab

The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.

Data type	String

Inbound user ID

The user ID applied to messages arriving from the foreign bus and used to authorize their access to destinations.

If we to want to authenticate messages entering this bus, this user ID replaces the user ID in the inbound messages. We can specify an inbound user ID if this bus is to assign its own user IDs for all messages received from the foreign bus. If we do not authenticate inbound messages, all messages can enter this bus.

Dynamic updates to this property are effective immediately.

Required	No
Data type	String

Outbound user ID

The user ID applied to messages sent to the foreign bus.

The definitive check for access to the destination on the foreign bus takes place when the message enters the foreign bus. The check is against the permissions defined on the foreign bus by its administrator. The check is based on the user ID stored in the message. That user ID starts off as the user ID of the sender, but this bus might want to assign the same outbound user ID for all messages sent to the foreign bus.

Dynamic updates to this property are effective immediately.
