Viewing and updating MQ JMS bindings

You can administer MQ JMS bindings to configure special features of the resource. The administrative tasks are performed using the administrative console.

You must have permission to make and save changes to the profile on the administrative console.

The queue and queue manager are not automatically generated; they must be created in WebSphere MQ by your WebSphere MQ administrator.

The MQ JMS import or export must be installed as part of a Service Component Architecture application in your server profile.


Procedure

  1. Select the module that contains the binding by navigating to Applications > SCA Modules and clicking the module name.

  2. Select the binding by performing the following steps:

    1. In the Module components section, expand Imports or Exports.
    2. Expand the import or export, and then expand Binding.

    3. Click the binding to view information about its properties. The general properties of the binding are displayed:

      • The Send Resources category contains the Connection Factory and the Send Destination.

      • The Receive Resources category contains the Response Connection Factory and the Activation Specification.

      • The Advanced Resources category contains Callback resources and other available resources.

      You can also access a resource by typing the JNDI name in the text box. Doing so, however, allows you to enter the name of a resource that is not yet configured.

  3. Make any required changes to the resources:

    1. Click Browse to open a window with a list of JNDI names; then, select the required JNDI name. The selected name will populate the appropriate text field.

    2. Click Configure to open the corresponding page referred to by the JNDI name.

      Most resources can be configured at the cluster scope. However, when you select the Configure option for the activation specification, a page is displayed that shows all activation specifications for all members of the given cluster; you can then select one activation specification.

  4. Save your changes to the master configuration.


Results

If you made any updates, the binding is changed for the selected module. The changes take effect after you restart the SCA module.

Restriction: If the module is redeployed, the configuration changes you made are replaced by the original settings.

To ensure that the changes you made remain with the module across deployments, use IBM Integration Designer to make the changes in the source code for the module.
