WebSphere MQ queue settings
Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected queue destination for use with the WebSphere MQ JMS provider.
A queue destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS queue. Connections to the queue are created by the associated queue connection factory for the WebSphere MQ JMS provider. A queue for use with the WebSphere MQ JMS provider has the following properties.
Note:
- The property values that you specify must match the values that specified
when configuring WebSphere MQ JMS resources. For more information about configuring
WebSphere MQ 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.
To view this administrative console page, click Resources-> WebSphere MQ JMS Provider-> (In content pane, under Additional Properties) WebSphere MQ Queue Destinations-> destination_name
- 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 application
server's 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 - Description
- A description of the queue, for administrative purposes
Data type String Default Null - Category
- A category used to classify or group this queue, for your IBM WebSphere
Application Server administrative records.

- Specified
- The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the Specified expiry property.If you select this option, define a timeout on the Specified expiry property.
- Unlimited
- Messages on this queue 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 queue expire
Data type Integer Units Milliseconds Default Null Range Greater than or equal to 0 - 0 indicates that messages never timeout
- Other values are an integer number of milliseconds
- 0 indicates that messages never timeout
- 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 messaging multiplatform and platform-specific books Web pages; for example, at

or from the WebSphere MQ collection kit, SK2T-0730. - Use native encoding
- Select this checkbox to indicate that the queue destination should
use native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default Cleared Range - Cleared
- Native encoding is not used, so specify the properties below for integer, decimal, and floating point encoding.
- Selected
- Native encoding is used (to provide appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.
- Integer encoding
- If native encoding is not enabled, select whether integer encoding
is normal or reversed.
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default NORMAL Range - NORMAL
- Normal integer encoding is used.
- REVERSED
- Reversed integer encoding is used.
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.
- Decimal encoding
- If native encoding is not enabled, select whether decimal encoding
is normal or reversed.
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default NORMAL Range - NORMAL
- Normal decimal encoding is used.
- REVERSED
- Reversed decimal encoding is used.
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.
- Floating point encoding
- If native encoding is not enabled, select the type of floating
point encoding.
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default IEEENORMAL Range - IEEENORMAL
- IEEE normal floating point encoding is used.
- IEEEREVERSED
- IEEE reversed floating point encoding is used.
- S390
- S390 floating point encoding is used.
For more information about encoding properties, see the WebSphere MQ Using Java document.
- Target client
- Whether the receiving application is JMS-compliant or is a traditional
WebSphere MQ application
Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default MQSeries Range - MQSeries
- The target is a non-JMS, traditional WebSphere MQ application.

Configuration tab
- Scope
- Specifies the level to which this resource definition is visible
-- the cell, node, or server level.
Resources such as JMS Providers, Namespace bindings, or shared libraries can be defined at multiple scopes, with resources defined at more specific scopes overriding duplicates which are defined at more general scopes.
Note that no matter what the scope of a defined resource, the resource's properties only apply at an individual server level. For example, if you define the scope of a data source at the Cell level, all users in that Cell can look up and use that data source, which is unique within that Cell. However, resource property settings are local to each server in the Cell. For example, if you set Max Connections to 10, then each server in that Cell can have 10 connections.
- Cell
- The most general scope. Resources defined at the Cell scope are visible from all Nodes and servers, unless they are overridden. To view resources defined in the cell scope, do not specify a server or a node name in the scope selection form.
- Node
- The default scope for most resource types. Resources defined at the Node scope override any duplicates defined at the Cell scope and are visible to all servers on the same node, unless they are overridden at a server scope on that node. To view resources defined in a node scope, do not specify a server, but select a node name in the scope selection form.
- Server
- The most specific scope for defining resources. Resources defined at the Server scope override any duplicate resource definitions defined at the Cell scope or parent Node scope and are visible only to a specific server. To view resources defined in a server scope, specify a server name as well as a node name in the scope selection form.
When resources are created, they are always created into the current scope selected in the panel. To view resources in other scopes, specify a different node or server in the scope selection form.
