IBM MQ server bus member settings
A IBM MQ server bus member is used for assigning queue points and mediation points to IBM MQ queues.
Console path:
Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Bus members -> member_name.
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
Name
The administrative name of the IBM MQ server bus member.
Information Value Required No Data type String
UUID
The universal unique identifier is assigned automatically, for administrative purposes, when we create a new IBM MQ server definition.
Information Value Required No Data type String
Connection settings
Virtual queue manager name
When sending messages to IBM MQ, the IBM MQ gateway queue manager sees the bus as a remote queue manager. The virtual queue manager name is passed to IBM MQ as the name of the remote queue manager.
The default is the name of the Service Integration bus. If this bus name is not a valid name for an IBM MQ queue manager, or if another IBM MQ queue manager already has the same name, replace the default value with a unique, valid name for an IBM MQ queue manager.
- It must contain between 1 and 48 characters.
- It must conform to the IBM MQ queue naming rules (see the Rules for naming IBM MQ objects topic in the IBM MQ information center).
Information Value Required Yes Data type String
Override IBM MQ Server connection properties
When we select this checkbox, the bus-specific properties override the IBM MQ server connection properties. To reset the connection settings to the IBM MQ server default values, deselect this checkbox and apply the change.
Information Value Required No Data type Boolean
IBM MQ Host
The name of the IBM MQ server's host.
This is either the symbolic name or the IP address of the host to which a connection is established for communicating with the queue manager or queue-sharing group that this IBM MQ server represents. The value is a string and must be one of the following:
- Symbolic host name
- IPv4 address
- IPv6 address
Information Value Required No Data type String
Port
The IBM MQ server port. This value is the TCP/IP port number on which the queue manager or queue-sharing group that this IBM MQ server represents listens. This value is used when attempting to establish client transport mode connections to IBM MQ. The default is 1414
Information Value Required No Data type Integer
Transport chain name
The name of the IBM MQ server transport chain. This is the transport chain used to establish an outbound network connection to the IBM MQ server.
Information Value Required No Data type drop-down list
IBM MQ channel
The name of the IBM MQ server's channel. This value is the IBM MQ client channel name to use when connecting to the queue manager or queue-sharing group that this IBM MQ server represents. The default is SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN
Information Value Required No Data type String
Messaging authentication alias
The name of IBM MQ server's authentication alias. Name used for exchanging messages with IBM MQ.
Information Value Required No Data type drop-down list
Trust user identifiers received in messages
The IBM MQ server's trust user identifier setting. This value determines whether user identifiers received in messages from IBM MQ are propagated into the message (that is, whether user identifiers received as part of message data are used in the service integration bus).
If we select this checkbox, user identifiers received as part of IBM MQ messages are propagated into messages and used for security purposes within the bus. If we do not select this checkbox, the user identifier is overwritten with the IBM MQ server name.
Information Value Required No Data type Boolean
