Range A valid WebSphere MQ Queue Manager name, as 1 through 48 ASCII characters


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 CCSIDs supported by WebSphere MQ queue manager. See the WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue and topic advanced properties settings for more details.

For more information about encoding properties, see Use Java in the WebSphere MQ information center.


Decimal encoding

If native encoding is not enabled, select whether decimal encoding is normal or reversed.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default NORMAL
Range

NORMAL

Normal decimal encoding is used.

REVERSED

For more information about encoding properties, see Use Java in the WebSphere MQ information center.


Native encoding

Indicates that the queue destination uses native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform) when you select this check box.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default Cleared
Range

Cleared

Native encoding is not used, so specify the following 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 Use Java in the WebSphere MQ information center.


Target client

Whether the receiving application is JMS compliant or is a traditional WebSphere MQ application.

Information Value
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 application supports JMS.


Message body

Whether an application processes the RFH version 2 header of a WebSphere MQ message as part of the JMS message body.

Information Value
Data type Drop-down list
Default UNSPECIFIED
Range

UNSPECIFIED

When sending messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider does or does not generate and include an RFH version 2 header, depending on the value of the Append RFH version 2 headers to messages sent to this destination property. When receiving messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider acts as if the value is set to JMS.

JMS

When sending messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider automatically generates an RFH version 2 header and includes it in the WebSphere MQ message. When receiving messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider sets the JMS message properties according to values in the RFH version 2 header (if these value are present); it does not present the RFH version 2 header as part of the JMS message body.

MQ

When sending messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider does not generate an RFH version 2 header. When receiving messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider presents the RFH version 2 header as part of the JMS message body.


ReplyTo destination style

Format of the JMSReplyTo field.

Information Value
Data type Drop-down list
Default DEFAULT
Range

DEFAULT

The default value is equivalent to the information in the RFH version 2 header.

MQMD

Use the value supplied in the MQMD. This populates the reply to queue manager field with the value from the MQMD, equivalent to the default behaviour of WebSphere MQ Version 6.0.2.4 and 6.0.2.5.

RFH2

Use the value supplied in the RFH version 2 header. If the sending application set a JMSReplyTo value, then that value is used.


MQMD read enabled

Whether an application can read the values of MQMD fields from JMS messages that have been sent or received using the WebSphere MQ messaging provider.

Information Value
Data type Check box
Default Cleared
Range

Cleared

Applications cannot read the values of the MQMD fields.

Selected

Applications can read the values of the MQMD fields.


MQMD write enabled

Whether an application can write the values of MQMD fields to JMS messages that will be sent or received using the WebSphere MQ messaging provider.

Information Value
Data type Check box
Default Cleared
Range

Cleared

Applications cannot write the values of the MQMD fields.

Selected

Applications can write the values of the MQMD fields.


MQMD message context

Message context options specified when sending messages to a destination.

Information Value
Data type Drop-down list
Default DEFAULT
Range

DEFAULT

The MQOPEN API call and the MQPMO structure specify no explicit message context options.

SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT

The MQOPEN API call specifies the message context option MQOO_SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT, and the MQPMO structure specifies MQPMO_SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT.

SET_ALL_CONTEXT

The MQOPEN API call specifies the message context option MQOO_SET_ALL_CONTEXT, and the MQPMO structure specifies MQPMO_SET_ALL_CONTEXT.
