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:
  1. In the navigation pane, expand Resources > JMS > JMS providers .
  2. 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 Version 5.
  3. In the content pane, click the name of the WebSphere MQ messaging provider that you want to support the JMS destination.
  4. In the content pane, under Additional Resources, click Queues. This displays a list of any existing JMS queue destinations.
  5. Click the name of the JMS queue destination that you want to work with.
A queue for use with the WebSphere MQ messaging 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.
  • The WebSphere MQ Queue Connection Properties group of fields in this pane contains five properties fields:
    • queue manager host
    • queue manager port
    • server connection channel name
    • user ID
    • password.
    Set these properties if you want to use the MQ Config additional property feature for managing the physical WebSphere MQ queue on the external WebSphere MQ queue manager. For additional information, see the related link to WebSphere MQ queue settings (MQ Config) at the end of this topic.

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
Default Null

Category

A category used to classify or group this queue, 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
Default Application defined
Range
Application defined
Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the application that put them onto the queue.

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.

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, you must define a priority you must 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, you must 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 library at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/library, or from the IBM Publications Center, or from the WebSphere MQ collection kit, SK2T-0730.
