Manage JMS servers on an Application Server node
Use this task to manage JMS servers on an Application Server node that is not part of a deployment manager cell.
Overview
On an Application Server node that is not part of a deployment manager cell, each appserver has an internal JMS server that runs as part of the appserver process and is administered as additional properties of the appserver. A JMS server enables the application server to access JMS resources.
If you want to start a JMS server that is not part of a deployment manager cell, you start the associated application server.
A JMS server makes use of separate WebSphere MQ processes. If a WebSphere MQ process fails and restarts while the JMS server is running, restart the appserver. This shutdown also can affect other installed applications.
For more information about starting appservers, see Starting servers.
You can use the WebSphere administrative console to configure a general set of JMS server properties, which add to the default values of properties configured automatically for the embedded WebSphere JMS provider.
To configure JMS server properties, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:
- In the navigation pane, select Servers-> Application Servers
This displays a table of the appservers in the administrative
domain.
- In the content pane, click the name of the appserver.
This displays the properties of the appserver in the
content pane.
- In the content pane, under Additional Properties, select Server
components-> JMS ServerThis displays the JMS server
properties in the content pane.
- Specify appropriate properties
for the JMS server.
If you want the JMS server to be started automatically when the appserver is next started, set the Initial state property to started.
If you want to add a new queue to be hosted by the JMS server, add the administrative name of the queue to the Queue Names field. (The name must match the name of a WebSphere Queue administrative object, including the use of upper- and lowercase.) Similarly, if you want to remove a queue from the JMS server, remove its name from that field.
- Click OK.
- To save your configuration, click Save on the task bar of
the administrative console window.
- To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the appserver.
