About this task
You use the WebSphere Application
Server administrative console to list JMS resources, if you want to
view, modify or delete any of the following resources:
- Connection factory (unified)
- Queue connection factory
- Topic connection factory
- Queue
- Topic
- Activation specification
When you use the Administrative Console to locate these resources,
two different navigation pathways are available:
- Provider-centric navigation. This lets you view all providers
(or just those for a specified scope if required), then navigate to
a specific resource for a specific provider. This is the traditional
way of navigating to a resource when you know which provider owns
it. Any navigation that starts with is provider-centric.
- Resource-centric navigation lets you view all resources of a specified
type, then navigate to a resource. This is useful if you want to find
a resource, but you do not know which provider owns it (you can list
all resources of a given type across all scopes, for all providers,
in a single panel). Any navigation that follows the pattern , where [resource] is one of the resource types listed
above is resource-centric.
To use provider-centric navigation, for example to navigate
to a specified connection factory, complete the following steps:
- Start the WebSphere Application
Server administrative console.
- In the navigation pane, expand . This opens the providers collection which lists all
currently configured providers across all scopes (you can modify the
scope if required).
- From the providers collection, select the required provider. This
opens the configuration tab for that provider. The configuration tab
contains a set of links to all the resources owned by that provider.
- From the configuration tab, click the link for a resource type,
for example the connection factories link. This opens the connection
factories collection which lists all the connection factories for
that provider.
- From the connection factories collection, select the required
connection factory. You can now view and work with the connection
factory's properties
To use resource-centric navigation, for example to navigate
to a specified connection factory, complete the following steps:
- Start the WebSphere Application
Server administrative console.
- In the navigation pane, expand . This opens the connection factories collection which
lists all the connection factories across all providers.
- From the connection factories collection, select the required
connection factory. You can now view and work with the connection
factory's properties.
You can use either of these navigation pathways to locate resources
of any type.
