IBM MQ queue points [Settings]

An IBM MQ queue point is used when sending messages to and receiving messages from an IBM MQ queue.

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.

General Properties

Identifier

The system-generated name by which this message point is known.

Information	Value
Required	No
Data type	String

UUID

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

Information	Value
Required	No
Data type	String

Target UUID

The UUID of the bus destination for which this is a message point.

Information	Value
Required	No
Data type	String

IBM MQ queue name

The IBM MQ queue name as defined in IBM MQ.

Information	Value
Required	Yes
Data type	String

Inbound nonpersistent reliability

The level of reliability to apply when a nonpersistent IBM MQ message is received.

The messages in an IBM MQ network have their own quality of service level. This is either persistent or non-persistent. When these messages are received by a service integration application, they are assigned a service integration quality of service level that depends on their IBM MQ quality of service level.

For nonpersistent IBM MQ messages received, we will probably choose one of the nonpersistent service integration qualities of service, that is reliable nonpersistent, best effort nonpersistent or express nonpersistent. However, we can choose any of the five possible service integration qualities of service:

Best effort nonpersistent

Express nonpersistent

Reliable nonpersistent

Reliable persistent

Assured persistent

See Mapping the JMS delivery option and message reliability to and from the IBM MQ persistence value.

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.

When these messages are received by a service integration application, they are assigned a service integration quality of service level that depends on their IBM MQ quality of service level.

For persistent IBM MQ messages received, we will probably choose one of the persistent service integration qualities of service, that is either assured persistent or reliable persistent. However, we can choose any of the five possible service integration qualities of service:

Include an RFH2 message header when sending messages to IBM MQ

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