WebSphere MQ queue settings
Use this panel to browse or change the configuration properties of the selected JMS queue destination for point-to-point messaging with WebSphere MQ as a messaging provider.
A WebSphere MQ queue destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS queue. Connections to the queue are created by the associated JMS queue connection factory for WebSphere MQ as a messaging provider.
To view this page, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:
- In the navigation pane, expand Resources > Messaging Providers > WebSphere MQ .
- If appropriate, in the content pane, change the scope of the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. If the scope is set to node or server scope for a Version 5 node, the administrative console presents the subset of resources and properties that are applicable to WebSphere Application Server V5.
- In the content pane, under Additional Resources, click WebSphere MQ Queue Destinations. This displays a list of any existing JMS queue destinations.
- Click the name of the JMS queue destination that you want to work with.
A queue for use with the WebSphere MQ JMS provider has the following properties.
Note:
- The property values that you specify must match the values that you specified when configuring WebSphere MQ for JMS resources. For more information about configuring WebSphere MQ for JMS resources, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java book.
- In WebSphere MQ, names can have a maximum of 48 characters, with the exception of channels which have a maximum of 20 characters.
- Name
The name by which the queue is known for administrative purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server.
Data type String - JNDI name
The JNDI name that is used to bind the queue into the name space.
As a convention, use the fully qualified JNDI name; for example, in the form jms/Name, where Name is the logical name of the resource.
This name is used to link the platform binding information. The binding associates the resources defined by the deployment descriptor of the module to the actual (physical) resources bound into JNDI by the platform.
Data type String - Description
A description of the queue, for administrative purposes
Data type String Default Null - Category
A category used to classify or group this queue, for your IBM WAS administrative records.
Data type String - Persistence
Whether all messages sent to the destination are persistent, non-persistent, or have their persistence defined by the application
- 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 onto the destination.
- Queue defined
- Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the WebSphere MQ destination 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 define a priority on the Specified Priority property.
- Specified priority
If the Priority property is set to Specified, type here the message priority for this destination, in the range 0 (lowest) through 9 (highest)
Data type Integer Units Message priority level Default 0 Range 0 (lowest priority) through 9 (highest priority) - Expiry
Whether the expiry timeout for this destination is defined by the application or the Specified Expiry property, or messages on the destination never expire (have an unlimited expiry timeout)
Data type Enum Default APPLICATION DEFINED Range
- APPLICATION DEFINED
- The expiry timeout for messages on this destination is defined by the application that put them onto the destination.
- SPECIFIED
- The expiry timeout for messages on this destination is defined by the Specified Expiry property.If you select this option, define a timeout on the Specified Expiry property.
- UNLIMITED
- Messages on this destination have no expiry timeout, so those messages never expire.
- Specified expiry
If the Expiry Timeout property is set to Specified, type here the number of milliseconds (greater than 0) after which messages on this destination expire.
Data type Integer Units Milliseconds Default 0 Range Greater than or equal to 0
- 0 indicates that messages never timeout
- Other values are an integer number of milliseconds
- Base queue name
The name of the queue to which messages are sent, on the queue manager specified by the Base Queue Manager Name property.
Data type String Default Null Range 1 through 48 ASCII characters - Base queue manager name
The name of the WebSphere MQ queue manager to which messages are sent
This queue manager provides the queue specified by the Base Queue Name property.
Data type String Units En_US ASCII characters Default Null Range A valid WebSphere MQ Queue Manager name, as 1 through 48 ASCII characters - CCSID
The coded character set identifier for use with the WebSphere MQ queue manager.
This coded character set identifier (CCSID) must be one of the CCSIDs supported by WebSphere MQ.
Data type String Units Integer Default Null Range 1 through 65535 For more information about supported CCSIDs, and about converting between message data from one coded character set to another, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration and the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Reference books. These are available from the WebSphere MQ messaging multiplatform and platform-specific books Web pages; for example, at http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/manuals/platspecific.html, the IBM Publications Center, or from the WebSphere MQ collection kit, SK2T-0730.
- Use native encoding
Whether or not the destination should use native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).
Data type Check box Default Cleared Range
- Cleared
- Native encoding is not used, so specify the properties below 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.
- Integer encoding
If native encoding is not enabled, select whether integer encoding is normal or reversed.
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 Units Not applicable 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
If native encoding is not enabled, select the type of floating point encoding.
Data type Enum Default IEEENORMAL Range
- IEEENORMAL
- IEEE normal floating point encoding is used.
- IEEEREVERSED
- IEEE reversed floating point encoding is used.
