WebSphere 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 WebSphere 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 > WebSphere MQ Provider . Right click Topic Destinations, and click New. The following fields are displayed on the General tab.

Note:

• The property values that you specify must match the values that you specified when configuring WebSphere MQ product JMS resources. For more information about configuring WebSphere MQ product JMS resources, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java book.

• In WebSphere MQ, names can have a maximum of 48 characters.

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

Name

The name by which the topic is known for administrative purposes.

Data type

String

Description

A description of the topic for administrative purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server.

JNDI Name

The application client run time uses this field to retrieve configuration information.

Persistence

Whether all messages sent to the destination are persistent, nonpersistent, or have their persistence defined by the application.

Data type	Enum
Default	APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range	Application defined Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the application that put them in the queue. Queue defined [WebSphere MQ destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the WebSphere MQ queue definition properties. Persistent Messages on the destination are persistent. Nonpersistent Messages on the destination are not persistent.

Priority

Whether the message priority for this destination is defined by the application or the Specified priority property.

Data type	Enum
Default	APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range	Application defined The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the application that put them in the destination. Queue defined [WebSphere MQ destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the WebSphere MQ queue definition properties. Specified The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the Specified priority property. If you select this option, define a priority for the Specified priority property.

Specified Priority

If the Priority property is set to Specified, type 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.

Data type	Integer
Units	Message priority level
Range	0 (lowest priority) through 9 (highest priority)

Expiry

Whether the expiry timeout for this queue is defined by the application or by the Specified expiry property or by messages on the queue never expire (have an unlimited expiry timeout).

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 you select this option, 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.

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.

Data type

String

CCSID

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

This coded character set identifier (CCSID) must be one of the CCSID identifiers that WebSphere MQ supports.

Data type

String

Integer encoding

Indicates whether integer encoding is normal or reversed when native encoding is not enabled.

Data type	Enum
Default	NORMAL
Range	NORMAL Normal integer encoding is used. REVERSED Reversed integer encoding is used. For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.

Decimal encoding

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

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 the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.

Floating point encoding

Indicates the type of floating point encoding when native encoding is not enabled.

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 the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.

Native encoding

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

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 the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.

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.

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.

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 WebSphere MQ application.

Data type	Enum
Default	WebSphere MQ
Range	WebSphere MQ The target is a traditional WebSphere MQ application that does not support JMS. JMS The target is a JMS compliant application.

Multicast

Whether this connection factory uses multicast transport.

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.
