WebSphere MQ topic settings
Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected topic destination for use with the WebSphere MQ JMS provider.
A topic destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS topic for the associated JMS provider. Connections to the topic are created by the associated topic connection factory. A topic 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 JMS resources. For more information about configuring WebSphere MQ JMS resources, see the WebSphere MQ Use 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.
To view this administrative console page, click Resources-> WebSphere MQ JMS Provider-> (In content pane, under Additional Properties) WebSphere MQ Topic Destinations-> destination_name
- Name
- The name by which the topic is known
for administrative purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server.
Data type String - JNDI name
- The JNDI name that is used to bind the topic into the application
server's 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 topic, for administrative
purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server.
Data type String Default Null - Category
- A category used to classify or group this
topic, for your IBM WebSphere Application Server 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
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default APPLICATION_DEFINED Range - Application defined
- Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the application that put them onto 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.
- Non persistent
- 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 Units Not applicable 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
- [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 on the Specified priority property.
- Specified priority
- If the Priority property
is set to Specified, type here 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 Default Null Range 0 (lowest priority) through 9 (highest priority) - Expiry
- Whether the expiry timeout for this
queue is defined by the application or the Specified expiry property,
or messages on the queue never expire (have an unlimited expiry timeout)
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default APPLICATION_DEFINED Range - Application defined
- The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the application that put them onto the queue.
- Specified
- The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the Specified expiry property.If you select this option, define a timeout on the Specified expiry property.
- Unlimited
- Messages on this queue 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 queue expire
Data type Integer Units Milliseconds Default Null Range Greater than or equal to 0 - 0 indicates that messages never timeout
- Other values are an integer number of milliseconds
- Base topic name
- The name of the topic to which messages are sent
Data type String Range Depends on the broker used. For details, see the documentation for your broker; for example the WebSphere MQ Event Broker library at 
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/manuals/wsmqebv21.html
. - 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

WebSphere MQ collection kit, SK2T-0730. - Use native encoding
- Select this checkbox to indicate that the queue destination should
use native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).
Data type Enum Units Not applicable 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 Use Java document.
- Integer encoding
- If native encoding is not enabled, select whether integer encoding
is normal or reversed.
Data type Enum Units Not applicable 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 Use 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 Use Java document.
- Floating point encoding
- If native encoding is not enabled, select the type of floating
point encoding.
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default IEEENORMAL Range - IEEENORMAL
- IEEE normal floating point encoding is used.
- IEEEREVERSED
- IEEE reversed floating point encoding is used.
- S390
- S390 floating point encoding is used.
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Use Java document.
