Activation specification collection
A JMS activation specification is associated with one or more message-driven beans and provides the configuration necessary for them to receive messages. The default messaging provider and the WebSphere MQ messaging provider both support use of activation specifications.
In the admin console, to view this page click Resources > JMS ->Activation specifications.
To change what entries are listed, or to change what information is shown for entries in the list, use the Filter settings.
If WebSphere MQ functionality has been disabled, an informational message indicating that WebSphere MQ has been disabled appears when the scope field is set to a scope which is the same as, or above, the scope at which WebSphere MQ has been disabled, or when the scope field is set to display all scopes. Note that this informational message is not displayed if you are viewing a provider specific collection that is not for WebSphere MQ (for example, the default messaging provider collection). In a single server environment this informational message is only displayed when the server is restarted after WebSphere MQ functionality has been disabled. In a network deployment environment the informational message is displayed immediately. For more information see Disable WebSphere MQ functionality in WAS.
This page lists the JMS activation specifications that are available to WebSphere applications at the scope indicated by the Scope field.
