Configuration tab

Configuration properties for this object. Values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted.

General Properties

Identifier

The identifier by which this destination is known for administrative purposes. Match exactly the name of the target destination that exists in the foreign bus.

Bus

The name of the foreign bus on which this destination is defined. This must match exactly the name of a foreign bus administrative object already defined on the bus on which this foreign destination is being created.

UUID

The universal unique identifier assigned by the system to this destination for administrative purposes.

Type

Whether this bus destination is for a queue, topic space, or some other type of destination.

Description

An optional description for the bus destination, for administrative purposes.

Enable producers to override default reliability

Enable producers to override the default reliability set on the destination.

• If an application is producing messages to a destination and that application does NOT specify a reliability for the message, then the Default reliability setting is used.

• If an application is producing messages to a destination and that application specifies a reliability, then the application reliability is ONLY applicable if the Enable producers to override default reliability property is set to True. Otherwise, the Default reliability setting is used.

Default reliability

The reliability assigned to a message produced to this destination when an explicit reliability has not been set by the producer.

This reliability setting is used if a message has not set a reliability or if the SIBDestination.overrideOfQOSByProducerAllowed is set to False.

• If an application is producing messages to a destination and that application does NOT specify a reliability for the message, then the Default reliability setting is used.

• If an application is producing messages to a destination and that application specifies a reliability, then the application reliability is ONLY applicable if the Enable producers to override default reliability property is set to True. Otherwise, the Default reliability setting is used.

Information	Value
Required	No
Data type	drop-down list
Range	Best effort nonpersistent Messages are discarded when a messaging engine stops or fails. Messages might also be discarded if a connection used to send them becomes unavailable or as a result of constrained system resources. Express nonpersistent Messages are discarded when a messaging engine stops or fails. Messages might also be discarded if a connection used to send them becomes unavailable. Reliable nonpersistent Messages are discarded when a messaging engine stops or fails. Reliable persistent Messages might be discarded when a messaging engine fails. Assured persistent Messages are not discarded.




Maximum reliability

The maximum reliability of messages accepted by this destination. Producers cannot send messages to this destination with a reliability higher than the value specified for this property.

Default priority

The default priority assigned to messages sent to this destination when a priority has not been set by the producer.

Send allowed

Clear this option (setting it to false) to stop producers from being able to send messages to this destination.




Include an RFH2 message header when sending messages to WebSphere Q

If selected, messages sent to IBM MQ include an RFH2 header. The RFH2 header stores additional information to that which is stored in theIBM MQ message header.

This property applies when the foreign bus that hosts the target destination is an IBM MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group. When service integration converts a message from the service integration format to IBM MQ format, by default it includes an MQRHF2 header in the IBM MQ message. This header contains message attributes, such as JMS message attributes, that are not IBM MQ message attributes and therefore do not appear in the IBM MQ message descriptor (MQMD). Some IBM MQ applications cannot process messages that include an MQRFH2 header. If messages sent to this destination will be processed by IBM MQ applications that cannot tolerate an MQRFH2, clear this option.

Dynamic updates to this property are effective immediately.




Additional Properties

Context properties

Context information passed to the mediation.
