Complete this task to display administrative lists of JMS resources for use by WebSphere
application server Version 5 applications.

You can use the WebSphere administrative console to display lists of the following types of JMS resources for use by WebSphere application server Version 5 applications. You can use the panels displayed to select JMS resources to configure, administer, create, or delete (where appropriate).

To display administrative lists of Version 5 default JMS resources, complete the following general steps:

1. Start the WebSphere administrative console.

2. Display the Version 5 default messaging provider. In the navigation pane, expand Resources > JMS Providers > V5 Default Messaging.

3. Optional: Change the Scope setting to the level at which the JMS queue connection factory is visible to applications. If you define a Version 5 JMS resource at the Cell scope level, all users in the cell can look up and use that JMS resource. However, the JMS resource has only the subset of properties that apply to WebSphere Application Server Version 5. If you want to define a JMS resource at Cell level for use on non-Version 5 nodes, you should define the JMS resource for the Version 6 default messaging provider.

4. In the content pane, under Additional Resources, click the link for the type of JMS resource. This displays a list of any existing resources of the selected type. For more information about the settings panels displayed for resources, see the related reference topics.
