createSIBDestination command

Use the createSIBDestination command to create a new bus destination for a service integration bus.

To run the command, use the AdminTask object of the wsadmin scripting client.

(iSeries) (iSeries) The wsadmin scripting client is run from Qshell. (iSeries) See Configure Qshell to run WebSphere scripts .

Command-line help is provided for service integration bus commands:

After using the command, save the changes to the master configuration using the following command:

AdminConfig.save()

The createSIBDestination command creates a new bus destination for a service integration bus. With this command, a messaging destination can also be localized to an IBM MQ server bus member.


Target object

A service integration bus.


Required parameters

-bus

The name of the service integration bus on which to create the bus destination. To list the names of existing buses, use the listSIBuses command.

-name

The identifier by which this destination is known for administrative purposes.

-type

Indicates the type of bus destination to create:

Alias

An alias destination, that provides a level of abstraction between applications and the underlying target bus destinations that hold messages. Applications interact with the alias destination, so the target bus destination can be changed without changing the application.

Foreign

A foreign destination, which identifies a destination on another bus, and enables applications on one bus to access the destination on another bus directly.

Port

Represents a particular message and transport binding for an outbound service that communicates with an externally-hosted target web service.

Queue

A queue, for point-to-point messaging.

TopicSpace

A topic space, for publish/subscribe messaging.

WebService

Represents an externally-hosted target web service.


Conditional parameters

None.


Optional parameters

-cluster

To assign the bus destination to a cluster bus member, specify the name of the cluster. Do not specify the -node, -server or -wmqServer parameters.

-node

To assign the bus destination to a server bus member, specify both the name of the node on which the server runs and the name of the server. Do not specify the -cluster or -wmqServer parameters.

-server

To assign the bus destination to a server bus member, specify both the name of the node on which the server runs and the name of the server. Do not specify the -cluster or -wmqServer parameters.

-wmqServer

To assign the bus destination to an IBM MQ queue, specify both the name of the IBM MQ server bus member where the destination is assigned (this parameter), and the name of the IBM MQ queue used to store messages sent to the destination (the -wmqQueueName parameter). Set the-wmqServer parameter to the name you gave when we created the IBM MQ server. Set the -wmqQueueName parameter to the name allocated to the IBM MQ queue by IBM MQ administration. Do not specify the -cluster, -node or -server parameters.

-aliasBus

If we are creating an alias destination, specify the source bus name of the alias mapping.

-targetBus

If we are creating an alias destination, specify the name of the bus to which the alias destination is mapped.

-targetName

If we are creating an alias destination, specify the name of the destination to which the alias destination is mapped.

-foreignBus

If we are creating a foreign destination, specify the name of the foreign bus.

-description

Specify a description for the bus destination, for administrative purposes.

-reliability

Default reliability level to assign to a message produced to this destination when an explicit reliability has not been set by the producer application. Service integration supports five reliability levels (also known as delivery options or qualities of service):

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.

Higher levels of reliability have higher impacts on performance.

For more information about service integration reliability levels, see Message reliability levels - JMS delivery mode and service integration quality of service.

-maxReliability

Specify the maximum reliability level that is accepted for values specified by producer applications. Service integration supports five reliability levels (also known as delivery options or qualities of service):

BEST_EFFORT_NONPERSISTENT

EXPRESS_NONPERSISTENT

RELIABLE_NONPERSISTENT

RELIABLE_PERSISTENT

ASSURED_PERSISTENT

For more information about service integration reliability levels, see Message reliability levels - JMS delivery mode and service integration quality of service.

-nonPersistentReliability

Specify the service integration quality of service to use with nonpersistent IBM MQ messages received by service integration from an IBM MQ network. 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, the default service integration quality of service is RELIABLE_NONPERSISTENT. If we choose to override this default, we will probably choose one of the other nonpersistent service integration qualities of service 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.

-persistentReliability

Specify the service integration quality of service to use with persistent IBM MQ messages received by service integration from an IBM MQ network. 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 persistent IBM MQ messages received, the default service integration quality of service is ASSURED_PERSISTENT. If we choose to override this default, we will probably choose the other persistent service integration quality of service RELIABLE_PERSISTENT. 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.

-overrideOfQOSByProducerAllowed TRUE | FALSE

Controls the quality of service for message flows between producers and the destination. Select this option to use the quality of service specified by producers instead of the quality defined for the destination.

-defaultPriority number

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

-maxFailedDeliveries number

The maximum number of failed attempts to process a message. After this number of failed attempts, the message is forwarded from the intended destination to its exception destination. Specify a value in the range 0 through 2147483647. A value of 0 (zero) means that if a message cannot be delivered on the first attempt, it is either forwarded to the exception destination or discarded, as defined by the -exceptionDestination parameter.

-exceptionDestination value

Use these properties to define what happens to any messages that cannot be delivered to this destination.

By default, all messages that cannot be delivered to this destination are rerouted to the system default exception destination for the messaging engine to which this destination is assigned (_SYSTEM.Exception.Destination.messaging_engine_name). Use this parameter to override the default value. We can set a specific exception destination for this destination, or we can specify that undeliverable messages are not rerouted to an exception destination by entering an empty string (""), in which case the maximum failed deliveries count has no effect.

An undeliverable message can block the processing of other messages waiting for delivery to the same destination.

Use this option and specify no exception destination to preserve message ordering.

-sendAllowed TRUE | FALSE

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

  • For a queue point of a non-mediated destination, or a mediation point of a mediated destination, if you clear this option then new messages (from attached producers or forwarded from another destination) are redirected to any available message point. If no message points are available, then messages that have already been accepted onto the bus, and new messages from attached producers, are preserved by the bus until a message point becomes available. The only exception to this is the case of a destination with only one message point (queue point or mediation point depending on whether the destination is mediated or non-mediated), where the producer is attached to the same messaging engine. In this case, an exception message is generated on each send call. The exception message indicates that the only extant localization has been disabled for send. The producer remains open as usual, and any more send calls succeed if the Send allowed property of the localization is reselected (reset to TRUE).

  • For a queue point of a mediated destination, if you clear this option then messages from mediation instances are redirected to any available message point. If no message points are available, then the messages are preserved by the bus until a message point becomes available. For any mediation instance (that is, on any server that has a mediation point), if the same server hosts a queue point, and that queue point is the only queue point for the destination, then the mediation changes to the stopped on error state.

-receiveAllowed TRUE | FALSE

Clear this option (setting it to false) to prevent consumers from being able to receive messages from this destination. For the message point, if you clear this option then any open consumers change state and an exception is generated if the consumer requests a message. Messages can continue to be sent, and accumulate on the message point.

-receiveExclusive TRUE | FALSE

Select this option (setting it to TRUE) to allow only one consumer to attach to a destination. If we select this option, only a single consumer can be attached to each queue point of a queue destination at any one time. Subsequent consumers attempting to attach to a queue point with a consumer already attached are rejected.

-maintainStrictMessageOrder TRUE | FALSE

Select this option (setting it to TRUE) to maintain the order in which a producer sends messages to the destination.

At run time, this property has priority over other configuration property values. For information about the configuration properties that are overridden at run time, see Strict message ordering for bus destinations.

-topicAccessCheckRequired

Include this option if authorization checks are required for access to topics.

-replyDestination

The name of a destination to be appended to any non-empty reverse routing path of messages sent to this destination. This property is intended for use with mediations on reply messages. For more information about the use of this property, see Configure a destination reverse routing path.

-replyDestinationBus

The name of the bus on which the reply destination is configured. This property is intended for use with mediations on reply messages. For more information about the use of this property, see Configure a destination reverse routing path.

-delegateAuthorizationCheckToTarget

Indicates whether the authorization check is performed on the alias or the target destination. Include this option if we want the authorization check to be performed on the target destination.

-wmqQueueName

To assign the bus destination to an IBM MQ queue, specify both the name of the IBM MQ server bus member where the destination is assigned (the -wmqServer parameter), and the name of the IBM MQ queue used to store messages sent to the destination (this parameter). Set the-wmqServer parameter to the name you gave when we created the IBM MQ server. Set the -wmqQueueName parameter to the name allocated to the IBM MQ queue by IBM MQ administration. Do not specify the -cluster, -node or -server parameters.

-useRFH2 or -mqRfh2Allowed TRUE | FALSE

Determines whether messages sent to the destination have an MQRFH2 header.

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, which 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 QRFH2 header. If messages sent to this destination will be processed by IBM MQ applications that cannot tolerate an MQRFH2, clear this option (setting it to FALSE).

If we are assigning a queue-type destination to an IBM MQ server bus member, use the -useRFH2 parameter. If we are creating an alias destination or a foreign destination, use the -mqRfh2Allowed parameter.

-auditAllowed TRUE | FALSE

Clear this option (setting it to FALSE) to prevent the bus from auditing topic level authorization checks when the bus and application server have auditing enabled. The default is TRUE. We must have Audit Administrator privileges to use this parameter. The parameter is ignored if it is used in the creation of other types of destination.

-defaultForwardRoutingPath

The value to which a message forward routing path is set if the message contains no forward routing path. This identifies a sequential list of intermediary bus destinations that messages must pass through to reach a target bus destination. The format of the field is a list of bus destinations specified as bus_name:destination_name.

-queuePoints

A list of the queue points used by users of the alias destination. If no specific queue points are supplied, all queue points can be used. The target destination must be a queue destination in the same bus as the alias destination definition. The target destination must also be a queue destination with multiple queue points.

A queue point is specified in the following form: destination_name@messaging_engine_name

-mediationPoints

A list of the mediation points used by users of the alias destination. If no specific mediation points are supplied, all mediation points can be used. The target destination must be a mediated queue destination in the same bus as the alias destination definition. The target destination must also be a queue destination with multiple mediation points.

A mediation point is specified in the following form: destination_name@messaging_engine_name

-persistRedeliveryCount TRUE | FALSE

Select this option (setting it to TRUE) to persist the failed delivery counts of JMS messages in the message store. The value for the option is set to FALSE by default.

Important: Although the property is selected, the property will not be effective until the database tables are upgraded using the sibDBUpgrade command for WAS v9.0 and later.


Example


Example: Create a destination alias for "MyDestination1" called "MyAlias1" that can use two queue points:
