Queue name for Dynamic queue

Use this property to specify the name or portion of the name of the dynamic queue.

Input links

For input links, this name is for the destination dynamic queue. The Queue name property specifies the name of the model queue that acts as a template to create the dynamic queue. If the queue specified in the Queue name property is a regular queue as opposed to a model queue, the regular queue is opened, and the name specified in the Queue name sub-property for the Dynamic queue property is ignored.

Request links

For request messages, this name is for the request dynamic queue and the reply dynamic queue. Whether the request queue is opened as a dynamic queue depends upon the name in the Queue name property. If this name points to a model queue, the request queue is opened as a dynamic queue. If this name points to a regular queue, the regular queue is opened.

Whether the reply queue is opened as a dynamic queue depends upon the name in the Reply to queue property. If this name points to a model queue, the reply queue is opened as a dynamic queue. If this name points to a regular queue, the regular queue is used for the reply queue.

Valid values

The asterisk (*) is the default value, and it is processed as a wildcard in this property. If you want to use the wildcard, adhere to the following restrictions:

  • Only one asterisk (*) can be used in the value.
  • The asterisk must be used at the end of your name. This position must be no later than the thirty-third character of the 48-character length limit of the name.

There are several different ways to define the name:

  • Allow the queue manager to generate the entire name.

    Leave the default asterisk (*) as the value. The queue manager creates the dynamic reply queue name by replacing the asterisk with a 48-character queue name.

  • Use the asterisk (*) wildcard with your stem and let the queue manager generate the rest of the name.

    Provide the stem and use the asterisk is the last character. Make sure that you adhere to the asterisk rules previously mentioned.

  • Type your own name (up to 48 characters).

    The queue manager uses this name to open the dynamic queue.

Valid values are up to 48 characters.
