Default messaging provider queue [Settings]
A JMS queue is used as a destination for point-to-point messaging. Use JMS queue destination administrative objects to manage JMS queues for the default messaging provider.

Configuration tab
The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.
General Properties
Scope
Specifies the highest topological level at which application servers can use this resource object.
Information | Value |
---|---|
Required | No |
Data type | String |
Provider
Specifies a JMS provider, which enables asynchronous messaging based on the Java Message Service (JMS). It provides J2EE connection factories to create connections for specific JMS queue or topic destinations. JMS provider administrative objects are used to manage JMS resources for the associated JMS provider.

Name

Data type | String |
JNDI name
The JNDI name for the resource.
As a convention, use a JNDI name of the form jms/Name, where Name is the logical name of the resource. For more information about the use of JNDI and its syntax, see the topic JNDI support in WebSphere® Application Server.

Bus name
Enter the name of the bus on which the associated queue exists, or leave blank to use the bus to which the application connects.

Queue name
The name of the associated queue on the service integration bus.

Delivery mode
The delivery mode for messages sent to this destination. This controls the persistence of messages on this destination.

Time to live
The default length of time in milliseconds from its dispatch time that a message sent to this destination should be kept by the system.
Information | Value |
---|---|
Required | No |
Data type | Integer |
Range | 0 through 574476389546486783 A value of 0 (zero) means that messages are kept indefinitely. The default for this property is null, which allows the application to determine the time to keep messages. |
Priority
The relative priority for messages sent to this destination, in the range 0 to 9, with 0 as the lowest priority and 9 as the highest priority.
Information | Value |
---|---|
Required | No |
Data type | Integer |
Range | 0 through 9 The message priority range is from 0 (lowest) through 9 (highest). |
Read ahead
Read ahead is an optimization that preemptively assigns messages to consumers. This improves the time taken to satisfy consumer requests.
This property overrides the value set by the Read ahead property on the JMS connection factory.

Restrict messages to the local queue point if a queue point is configured on the connected messaging engine
Indicates whether the underlying service integration bus queue destination is scoped to a local queue point when addressed by using this JMS queue. A local queue point is a queue point of the service integration bus queue that is configured on the messaging engine to which the JMS application is connected.
This option is supported only when used by a JMS application that is running with a WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 or later server or client, and that is connected to a messaging engine running on WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 or later server. Use on previous versions of WebSphere Application Server will result in an exception to the application.

Data type | Boolean |
Default | FALSE |
Local queue point preference
- Prefer to send messages to a local queue point
- If a queue point for this queue exists on the messaging engine that the application is connected to, prefer to send all messages to it to improve performance. If this local queue point is not accepting new messages, the messages are sent to other queue points, if possible.
Information Value Required No Data type Radio button - Do not prefer a local queue point over other queue points
- All available queue points are treated equally, with no preference given to a local queue point. Messages are workload balanced across all queue points. This
option is supported only when used by a JMS application that is running
with a WebSphere Application ServerVersion 7.0 or later server or client, and
that is connected to a messaging engine running on WebSphere Application ServerVersion 7.0 or later server. Use on previous
versions of WebSphere Application Server will result
in an exception to the application.
Information Value Required No Data type Radio button
Message affinity across queue points
- Send all messages to the same queue point
- The message producer sends all messages to the same queue point to which the message producer is connected. This option does not influence the initial choice of queue point. This option applies to a message producer only if the queue is identified at the time the message producer is created, not at the time of sending messages. This
option is supported only when used by a JMS application that is running
with a WebSphere Application ServerVersion 7.0 or later server or client, and
that is connected to a messaging engine running on WebSphere Application ServerVersion 7.0 or later server. Use on previous
versions of WebSphere Application Server will result
in an exception to the application.
Information Value Required No Data type Radio button - Messages may be sent to different queue points
- A message producer can send messages to different queue points, based on the availability of the queue points and workload balancing of the system.
Information Value Required No Data type Radio button
Message visibility
- Only messages on a single queue point are visible
- A consumer or browser has access to messages on only one queue point, not the entire queue. The single queue point is chosen by the messaging system. A queue point that is defined on the same messaging engine that the application is connected to is preferred to other queue points.
Information Value Required No Data type Radio button - Messages on all queue points are visible
- A consumer or browser has access to messages on all queue points of the queue. If you enable this option, all queue points are actively checked for messages. This means that no messages remain on an unattended queue point. However, there is a performance cost in scanning all queue points for messages, and you can no longer control the order in which messages are taken off the queue. This
option is supported only when used by a JMS application that is running
with a WebSphere Application ServerVersion 7.0 or later server or client, and
that is connected to a messaging engine running on WebSphere Application ServerVersion 7.0 or later server. Use on previous
versions of WebSphere Application Server will result
in an exception to the application.

- Buses
- A service integration bus supports applications using message-based and service-oriented architectures. A bus is a group of interconnected servers and clusters that have been added as members of the bus. Applications connect to a bus at one of the messaging engines associated with its bus members.
