Network Deployment (All operating systems), v8.5 > Reference > Commands (wsadmin scripting)
createWMQQueue command
Use the createWMQQueue command to create a queue type destination for the WebSphere MQ messaging provider at a specific scope.
To run the command, use AdminTask of the wsadmin scripting client.
The wsadmin scripting client is run
from Qshell. For more information, see the topic "Configure Qshell
to run WAS scripts".
This command is valid only when it is used with WAS v7 and later application servers. Do not use it with earlier versions.
For a list of the available WebSphere MQ messaging provider administrative commands, plus a brief description of each command, enter the following command at the wsadmin prompt:
print AdminTask.help('WMQAdminCommands')
For overview help on a given command, enter the following command at the wsadmin prompt:
print AdminTask.help('command_name')
After using the command, save your changes to the master configuration. For example, use the following command:
AdminConfig.save()
Purpose
Use the createWMQQueue command to create a WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type destination at a specific scope.
We cannot create a WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type destination under either of the following conditions:
- A WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type destination already exists with the same name, at the same scope.
- The JNDI name clashes with another entry in WebSphere Application Server JNDI.
Target object
The scope of the WebSphere MQ messaging provider at which the WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type destination is to be created.
Required parameters
- -name
- The administrative name assigned to this WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type destination.
- -jndiName
- The name used to bind this object into WebSphere Application Server JNDI.
Optional parameters
- -description
- An administrative description assigned to the queue type destination.
- -queueName
- The name of the WebSphere MQ queue to use to store messages for the WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type destination definition.
- -qmgr
- The queue manager that hosts the WebSphere MQ queue.
- -persistence
- This parameter determines the level of persistence used to store
messages sent to this destination.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values:
- APP
- QDEF
- PERS
- NON
- HIGH
The default value is APP.
- -priority
- The
priority level to assign to messages sent to this destination.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values:
- APP
- QDEF
The default value is APP.
- -expiry
- The length of time after which messages sent to this destination
expire and are dealt with according to their disposition options.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values:
- APP
- UNLIM
The default value is APP.
- -ccsid
- The coded character
set identifier (CCSID).
The value of this parameter must be a positive integer or blank. See the WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue and topic advanced properties settings for more details.
The default value is 1208.
Leaving this field empty indicates the default value must be used.
- -useNativeEncoding
- This
parameter specifies whether to use native encoding or not.
It can take a value true or false.
If it is set to true, the values of the -integerEncoding, -decimalEncoding and -floatingPointEncoding attributes are ignored.
If it is set to false, the encoding is specified by the -integerEncoding, -decimalEncoding and -floatingPointEncoding attributes.
- -integerEncoding
- The
integer encoding setting for this queue.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values: Normal or Reversed.
The default value is Normal.
- -decimalEncoding
- The decimal encoding
setting for this queue.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values: Normal or Reversed.
The default value is Normal.
- -floatingPointEncoding
- The floating
point encoding setting for this queue.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values: IEEENormal, IEEEReversed, z/OS
The default value is IEEENormal.
- -useRFH2
- This parameter
determines whether an RFH version 2 header is appended
to messages sent to this destination.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values: true or false.
The default value is true.
- -sendAsync
- This parameter
determines whether messages can be sent to this
destination without queue manager acknowledging they have arrived.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values: YES, NO or QDEF.
The default value is QDEF.
- -readAhead
- This parameter
determines whether messages for non-persistent
consumers can be read ahead and cached.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values: YES, NO or QDEF.
The default value is QDEF.
- -readAheadClose
- This parameter
specifies the read ahead close method for the message
consumer.
Enter one of the following case-sensitive values: DELIVERALL, or DELIVERCURRENT.
The default value is DELIVERALL.
- -customProperties
- This parameter specifies custom properties to be passed to the WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type
destination implementation. Typically, custom properties are used
to set attributes of the queue type destination that are not directly supported through the WebSphere administration interfaces.
Each custom property is specified using name and value table step parameters. Since these are table steps, the order of the two parameters is fixed, so you must always specify the name first and the value second:
- In Jython: [name value]
- In Jacl: {name value}
In the following examples, code blocks beginning with wsadmin> show code that is entered by the user. Lines that do not begin with wsadmin> show code that has been returned by the console.
The following example creates a WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue type destination.
- Using Jython:
wsadmin>AdminTask.createWMQQueue("9994GKCNode01(cells/9994GKCNode01Cell/ nodes/9994GKCNode01|node.xml#Node_1)", ["-name queue1 -jndiName jms/queues/Q1 -queueName APP1.QUEUE1"])queue1(cells/9994GKCNode01Cell/nodes/9994GKCNode01|resources.xml# MQQueue_1098737234986) - Jacl:
wsadmin>$AdminTask createWMQQueue 9994GKCNode01(cells/9994GKCNode01Cell/nodes/9994GKCNode01|node.xml#Node_1) {-name queue1 -jndiName jms/queues/Q1 -queueName APP1.QUEUE1}queue1(cells/9994GKCNode01Cell/nodes/9994GKCNode01|resources.xml# MQQueue_1098737234986)
