Creating an IBM MQ object and a JMS object simultaneously
When you create a new IBM MQ object, we can optionally create a corresponding JMS object of the same type.
Before you begin
- You must have an IBM MQ queue manager. If one does not exist, we can create one as described in: Create and configure queue managers and objects
- You must have a JMS initial context. If one does not exist, we can create one as described in: Add the initial context that will contain the JMS topic
- You must be connected to the JMS initial context as described in: Connect to the initial context
About this task
With the object creation wizards in IBM MQ Explorer, we can create an IBM MQ object and a JMS object simultaneously. You begin by launching your required object wizard, for example; an IBM MQ queue. Then you select the option to launch another wizard, for example; a JMS queue, after the object has been created. The second object wizard must be of the same object type, and the properties of one are mapped to the other.Creating an IBM MQ queue and then creating a JMS queue simultaneously
