WebSphere MQ queue connection properties

Use this panel to specify how to connect to the queue manager that hosts the queue.

The system uses these connection properties to retrieve, display and update the queue configuration details that are shown on the WebSphere MQ queue settings panel.

To set of change the queue connection properties, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

1. In the navigation pane, click Resources > JMS->Queues to display existing queue destinations.

2. Click the name of the queue destination to work with.

3. To view or change the queue destination settings, click its name in the list displayed.

Under General Properties there are two groups of properties:

• Administration

• WebSphere MQ Queue

Make any required changes to the Administration and WebSphere MQ Queue groups of properties and then click Apply before, in the content pane under Additional Properties, you click the WebSphere MQ queue connection properties link to display or change the connection properties of the WebSphere MQ queue destination.

Make any required changes to the General properties and then click Apply before, in the content pane under Additional Properties, you click WebSphere MQ configuration to return to the WebSphere MQ queue settings panel.

A queue destination for use with the WebSphere MQ messaging provider has the following WebSphere MQ queue connection properties.

• The property values specified must match the values that specified when you configured the JMS resources in WebSphere MQ. For more information about configuring JMS resources in WebSphere MQ, see the Use Java section of the WebSphere MQ information center.

• In WebSphere MQ, names can have a maximum of 48 characters, with the exception of channels which have a maximum of 20 characters.

We cannot use this panel when WebSphere MQ functionality has been disabled. For more information see Disable WebSphere MQ functionality in WebSphere Application Server.
