Queue manager
A WebSphere MQ queue manager on the WebSphere MQ network with which WebSphere Application Server applications perform messaging.

Queue sharing group
A WebSphere MQ queue sharing group on the WebSphere MQ network with which WebSphere Application Server applications perform messaging.

Use bindings transport mode if available

When selected, bindings transport mode will be used in preference to client transport mode when establishing connections to the WebSphere MQ server. Otherwise client transport mode will always be used.

The bus uses the WebSphere Application Server MQ_INSTALL_ROOT environment variable to find WebSphere MQ. If you want to use a direct binding to WebSphere MQ, rather than a TCP/IP network connection, select this option and configure the MQ_INSTALL_ROOT variable as described in Installing WebSphere MQ to interoperate with WebSphere Application Server.
Note: If you are using Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) as the security manager on your WebSphere MQ for z/OS system, and using bindings transport mode, you must specify in uppercase characters the user names and passwords for authentication aliases. If you are using RACF and client transport mode, you can specify the user names and passwords in either upper or lower case characters.
