XMSC_WMQ_QMGR_CCSID

Data type:

System.Int32

Property of:

ConnectionFactory

The identifier (CCSID) of the coded character set, or code page, in which fields of character data defined in the Message Queue Interface (MQI) are exchanged between the XMS client and the WebSphere MQ client. This property does not apply to the strings of character data in the bodies of messages.

When an XMS application connects to a queue manager in client mode, the XMS client links to the WebSphere MQ client. The information exchanged between the two clients contains fields of character data that are defined in the MQI. Under normal circumstances, the WebSphere MQ client assumes that these fields are in the code page of the system on which the clients are running. If the XMS client provides and expects to receive these fields in a different code page, you must set this property to inform the WebSphere MQ client.

When the WebSphere MQ client forwards these fields of character data to the queue manager, the data in them must be converted if necessary into the code page used by the queue manager. Similarly, when the WebSphere MQ client receives these fields from the queue manager, the data in them must be converted if necessary into the code page in which the XMS client expects to receive the data. The WebSphere MQ client uses this property to perform these data conversions.

By default, the property is not set.

Set this property is equivalent to setting the MQCCSID environment variable for a WebSphere MQ client that is supporting native WebSphere MQ client applications. For more information about this environment variable, see WebSphere MQ Clients.
