Configuring custom properties for the WebSphere MQ resource adapter

In addition to the standard properties that you can specify for the WebSphere® MQ resource adapter, you can configure custom properties for WebSphere MQ resource adapter.

About this task

WebSphere Application Server supports the definition of custom properties for the WebSphere MQ resource adapter. This is useful because it enables WebSphere Application Server to work with later versions of WebSphere MQ that might have properties that are not exposed in WebSphere Application Server.

To specify custom properties for the WebSphere MQ resource adapter, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Resources > JMS->JMS providers to display a list of JMS providers in the content pane.
  2. Optional: If you want to manage JMS resources that are defined at a different scope setting, change the Scope setting to the required level.
  3. In the Providers column of the displayed list of JMS providers, click the name of the WebSphere MQ messaging provider that you want to work with.
  4. In the content pane under Additional properties, click Resource adapter properties to view the configuration page for the properties.
  5. In the content pane under Additional properties, click Custom properties to view the configuration page for the properties.
  6. Click the name of the property that you want to configure then make any required changes.
  7. Click Apply. This defines the custom property to WebSphere Application Server, and enables you to browse or change additional properties.
  8. Save any changes to the master configuration.
  9. To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the application server.
