MQSeries queue destination settings for application clients

Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected queue destination for use with the MQSeries JMS provider.

To view this Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT) page, click File > Open. After you browse for an EAR file, click Open. Expand the selected JAR file > JMS Providers > JMS provider instance. Right-click MQ Queue Destinations and click New. The following fields appear on the General tab.

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 MQSeries JMS provider. A queue for use with the MQSeries JMS provider has the following properties.

Note:

  • The property values that you specify must match the values that you specified when configuring MQSeries JMS resources. For more information about configuring MQSeries JMS resources, see the MQSeries Using Java book.
  • In MQSeries, names can have a maximum of 48 characters, with the exception of channels which have a maximum of 20 characters.

Name
The name by which the queue is known for administrative purposes.
Data type String
Units En_US ASCII characters
Default Null
Range 1 through 45 ASCII characters
Description
A description of the queue, for administrative purposes
Data type String
Units En_US ASCII characters
Default Null
Range 1 through 30 ASCII characters
JNDI Name
The application client run-time uses this field to retreive configuration information. The name must match the value of the Name field on the General tab in the Application Client Resource Reference section of the Application Assembly Tool.
Persistence
Whether all messages sent to the destination are persistent, non-persistent, or have their persistence defined by the application
Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range
Application defined
Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the application that put them onto the queue.
Queue defined
[WebSphere MQ JMS queue destination only] Messages on the destination have their persistence defined by the WebSphere MQ queue definition properties.
Persistent
Messages on the destination are persistent.
Non persistent
Messages on the destination are not persistent.
Priority
Whether the message priority for this destination is defined by the application or the Specified priority property
Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range
Application defined
The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the application that put them onto the destination.
Specified
The priority of messages on this destination is defined by the Specified priority property.If you select this option, 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 queue, in the range 0 (lowest) through 9 (highest)

If the Priority property is set to Specified, messages sent to this queue have the priority value specified by this property.

Data type Integer
Units Message priority level
Default Null
Range 0 (lowest priority) through 9 (highest priority)
Expiry
Whether the expiry timeout for this queue is defined by the application or the Specified expiry property, or messages on the queue never expire (have an unlimited expiry timeout)
Data type Enum
Units Not applicable
Default APPLICATION_DEFINED
Range
Application defined
The expiry timeout for messages on this queue is defined by the application that put them onto the queue.
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
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
Units En_US ASCII characters
Default Null
Range 1 through 30 ASCII characters
Base Queue Manager Name
The name of the MQSeries 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 MQSeries 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 En_US ASCII characters
Default Null
Range 1 through 30 ASCII characters

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 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.

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 MQSeries 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.
JMS
The target is a JMS-compliant application.
Custom Properties
Specifies name-value pairs for setting additional properties on the object that is created at runtime for this resource.

You must enter a name that is a public property on the object and a value that can be converted from a string to the type required by the set method of the property. The accectable properties and values depend on the object that is created. Refer to the object documentation for a list of valid properties and values.
