Configure destination keys

As messages arrive on a specific destination, by default they are sorted in FIFO (first-in, first-out) order, which sorts ascending based on each message's unique JMSMessageID. However, you can use a destination key to configure a different sorting scheme for a destination, such as LIFO (last-in, first-out).

After you configure a destination key, you can select it from within a destination resource, such as a queue, topic, distributed queue, distributed topic, or JMS template if you are using templates to configure your destinations.

To configure a destination key:


      

        In the
        Administration Console, navigate to the destination key resource that
        you want to configure:

        
          
Navigate to JMS
  Resources in System Modules 
          
Navigate to JMS
  resources in an application module         
      

      

        On the Configuration >
        General tab:

        
          

            In
            Sort Key, select a message sort key name or
            the name of a message header field on which to sort.
          

          

            In
            User-defined Sort Key, enter the name of a
            user-defined sort key when the Sort Key is
            set to User-defined.
          

          

            In
            Key Type, select the expected property type
            for the sort key. (This setting is ignored for message header
            field keys, which have an implied type.)
          

          

            In
            Direction, select the direction in which
            the key will sort messages (ascending or descending).
          
        

         
          
For more information about
          these fields, see Configuration Options.
