Configure a JMS activation specification to enable a message-driven
bean (MDB) to communicate with the WebSphere® MQ messaging provider.
About this task
To view or change the configuration of an activation
specification for use with WebSphere MQ,
use the administrative console to complete the following steps.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, click .
- Select the Scope setting corresponding
to the scope of the activation specifications that you want to view
or change.
- Select the name of the activation specification that you
want to view or change.
- Under General Properties make modifications
as necessary.
For information about each of the available
fields, see WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specification settings.
Note: There
are four
WebSphere MQ connection
properties that are used to configure the
WebSphere MQ resource adapter used by
the
WebSphere MQ messaging provider.
These properties affect the connection pool that is used by activation
specifications:
- maxConnections
- connectionConcurrency (Setting this property only affects
WebSphere Application Server 7 nodes. The property has no effect for WebSphere Application Server Version 8 or later nodes.)
- reconnectionRetryCount
- reconnectionRetryInterval
For more information about these four properties, and how to
configure them, see
Resource adapter properties.
- Click Apply to save the configuration.
- Optional: Click Advanced properties to
display or change the list of advanced properties of your activation
specification.
- Optional: Click Broker properties to
display or change the list of broker properties of your activation
specification.
- Optional: Click Custom properties to
display or change the list of custom properties of your activation
specification.
For example, you would use this option
to set the custom property WAS_EndpointInitialState for an activation
specification. WAS_EndpointInitialState determines whether or not
message consumption begins from the JMS destination as soon as the
activation specification is used for a message-driven bean to connect
with the destination.
- Optional: Click Client transport
properties to display or change the list of client transport
properties of your activation specification. This link is only present
on the explicitly-defined variation of this panel, where you enter
all information required to connect to WebSphere MQ.
This link does not appear for the CCDT-based variation.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then
restart the application server.
