Listing V5 default messaging resources

Use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to list JMS resources for the V5 default messaging provider, for administrative purposes.

Overview

• Connection factory (unified)

• Queue connection factory

• Topic connection factory

• Queue

• Topic

• Activation specification

When you use the Administrative Console to locate these resources, two different navigation pathways are available:

• Provider-centric navigation. This lets you view all providers (or just those for a specified scope if required), then navigate to a specific resource for a specific provider. This is the traditional way of navigating to a resource when you know which provider owns it. Any navigation that starts with Resources > JMS > JMS Providers is provider-centric.

• Resource-centric navigation lets you view all resources of a specified type, then navigate to a resource. This is useful if you want to find a resource, but you do not know which provider owns it (you can list all resources of a given type across all scopes, for all providers, in a single panel). Any navigation that follows the pattern Resources > JMS > [resource], where [resource] is one of the resource types listed above is resource-centric.

You can use either of these navigation pathways to locate resources of any type.

Procedure

• Using provider-centric navigation, for example to navigate to a specified connection factory

  1. Start the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.

  2. In the navigation pane, expand Resources > JMS > JMS Providers. This opens the providers collection which lists all currently configured providers across all scopes (you can modify the scope if required).

  3. From the providers collection, select the required provider. This opens the configuration tab for that provider. The configuration tab contains a set of links to all the resources owned by that provider.

  4. From the configuration tab, click the link for a resource type, for example the connection factories link. This opens the connection factories collection which lists all the connection factories for that provider.

  5. From the connection factories collection, select the required connection factory. You can now view and work with the connection factory's properties

• Using resource-centric navigation, for example to navigate to a specified connection factory

  2. In the navigation pane, expand Resources > JMS > Connection factories. This opens the connection factories collection which lists all the connection factories across all providers.

  3. From the connection factories collection, select the required connection factory. You can now view and work with the connection factory's properties.
