Set up the WebSphere MQ environment

 

The information in this section is not relevant if your application connects to a queue manager in bindings mode.

Before an application can connect to a queue manager in client mode, the application must set certain fields in the MQEnvironment class. These fields specify the following information, which is used during the connection attempt:

• Channel name

• Host name

• Port number

To specify the channel name and host name, use the following code:

MQEnvironment.hostname = "host.domain.com";
MQEnvironment.channel  = "java.client.channel";

This is equivalent to an MQSERVER environment variable setting of:

"java.client.channel/TCP/host.domain.com".

By default, the Java™ clients attempt to connect to a WebSphere MQ listener at port 1414. To specify a different port, use the code:

MQEnvironment.port = nnnn;
