IBM MQ Provider topic destination settings for application clients

Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected topic destination for use with the IBM MQ product Java Message Service (JMS) provider.

To view this Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT) page, click File > Open. After you browse for an EAR file, click Open. Expand the selected JAR file > Messaging Providers > IBM MQ Provider. Right click Topic Destinations, and click New. The following fields are displayed on the General tab.

A topic destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS topic for the associated JMS provider. A topic for use with the IBM MQ product JMS provider has the following properties.

If the Priority property is set to Specified, specify the message priority for this queue, in the range 0 (lowest) through 9 (highest).

If the Priority property is set to Specified, messages sent to this queue have the priority value specified by this property.

Information Value

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range

Application defined

The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the application that put them in the queue.

Specified

The expiry timeout for messages in this queue is defined by the Specified expiry property. If we select this option, we must define a timeout value for the Specified expiry property.

Unlimited

Messages on this queue have no expiry timeout, and these messages never expire.


Specified Expiry

If the Expiry timeout property is set to Specified, type the number of milliseconds (greater than 0) after which messages on this queue expire.

Information Value
Data type Integer
Units Milliseconds
Range Greater than or equal to 0

  • 0 indicates that messages never time out.
  • Other values are an integer number of milliseconds.


Base Topic Name

The name of the topic to which messages are sent.

Information Value
Data type String


CCSID

The coded character set identifier to use with the IBM MQ queue manager.

This coded character set identifier (CCSID) must be one of the CCSIDs that IBM MQ supports. See IBM MQ messaging provider queue and topic advanced properties settings for more details.

Data type String
Units Integer
Range 1 through 65535


Integer encoding

If native encoding is not enabled, select whether integer encoding is normal or reversed.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default NORMAL
Range

NORMAL

Normal integer encoding is used.

For more information about encoding properties, see Use Java in the IBM MQ information center.


Decimal encoding

If native encoding is not enabled, select whether decimal encoding is normal or reversed.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default NORMAL
Range

NORMAL

Normal decimal encoding is used.

REVERSED

Reversed decimal encoding is used.

For more information about encoding properties, see Use Java in the IBM MQ information center.


Floating point encoding

If native encoding is not enabled, select the type of floating point encoding.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default IEEENORMAL
Range

IEEENORMAL

IEEE normal floating point encoding is used.

IEEEREVERSED

IEEE reversed floating point encoding is used.

S390

S/390 floating point encoding is used.

For more information about encoding properties, see Use Java in the IBM MQ information center.


Native encoding

Indicates that the queue destination uses native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform) when we select this check box.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default Cleared
Range

Cleared

Native encoding is not used, so specify the previous properties for integer, decimal and floating point encoding.

Selected

Native encoding is used (to provide appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).

For more information about encoding properties, see Use Java in the IBM MQ information center.


BrokerDurSubQueue

The name of the broker queue from which durable subscription messages are retrieved.

The subscriber specifies the name of the queue when it registers a subscription.

Information Value
Data type String
Units En_US ASCII characters
Range 1 through 48 ASCII characters


BrokerCCDurSubQueue

The name of the broker queue from which durable subscription messages are retrieved for a ConnectionConsumer. This property applies only for use of the web container.

Information Value
Data type String
Units En_US ASCII characters
Range 1 through 48 ASCII characters


Target Client

Whether the receiving application is JMS compliant or is a traditional IBM MQ application.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default IBM MQ
Range

IBM MQ

The target is a traditional IBM MQ application that does not support JMS.

JMS

The target application supports JMS.


Message body

Specifies whether an application processes the RFH version 2 header of an IBM MQ message as part of the JMS message body.

Information Value
Data type Drop-down list
Default UNSPECIFIED
Range

UNSPECIFIED

When sending messages, the IBM MQ messaging provider does or does not generate and include an RFH version 2 header, depending on the value of the Append RFH version 2 headers to messages sent to this destination property. When receiving messages, the IBM MQ messaging provider acts as if the value is set to JMS.

JMS

When sending messages, the IBM MQ messaging provider automatically generates an RFH version 2 header and includes it in the IBM MQ message. When receiving messages, the IBM MQ messaging provider sets the JMS message properties according to values in the RFH version 2 header (if these value are present); it does not present the RFH version 2 header as part of the JMS message body.

MQ

When sending messages, the IBM MQ messaging provider does not generate an RFH version 2 header. When receiving messages, the IBM MQ messaging provider presents the RFH version 2 header as part of the JMS message body.


ReplyTo destination style

Format of the JMSReplyTo field.

Information Value
Data type Drop-down list
Default DEFAULT
Range

DEFAULT

The default is equivalent to the information in the RFH version 2 header.

MQMD

Use the value supplied in the MQMD. This populates the reply to queue manager field with the value from the MQMD, equivalent to the default behaviour of IBM MQ Version 6.0.2.4 and 6.0.2.5.

RFH2

Use the value supplied in the RFH version 2 header. If the sending application set a JMSReplyTo value, then that value is used.


Multicast

Whether this connection factory uses multicast transport.

Information Value
Data type Enum
Default AS_CF
Range

AS_CF

This connection factory uses multicast transport.

DISABLED

This connection factory does not use multicast transport.

NOT_RELIABLE

This connection factory always uses multicast transport.

RELIABLE

This connection factory uses multicast transport when the topic destination is not reliable.

ENABLED

This connection factory uses reliable multicast transport.


MQMD read enabled

Specifies whether an application can read the values of QMD fields from JMS messages that have been sent or received using the IBM MQ messaging provider.

Information Value
Data type Check box

Cleared

Applications cannot read the values of the MQMD fields.

Information Value
Data type Check box

Range

Cleared

Applications cannot write the values of the MQMD fields.

Selected

Applications can write the values of the MQMD fields.


MQMD message context

Defines the message context options specified when sending messages to a destination.

Information Value
Data type Drop-down list

Range

DEFAULT

The MQOPEN API call and the MQPMO structure specify no explicit message context options.
