Service type

Use this property to specify the message format of command messages that the connector sends to the broker.

Command messages are registration and deregistration messages for publishers and subscribers, as well as publication messages for publishers. This property determines the WebSphere® MQ format of these command messages. This property also defines the format of the response messages for the command messages. Response messages are sent by the broker to the connector about the outcome of the command messages that are sent by the connector.

Select the value that is most compatible with your broker. For the IBM® WebSphere MQ Publish/Subscribe broker, you must select MQRFH as the Service type value. For the IBM WebSphere Message Broker, either of the service types can be used. However, select MQRFH2 because MQRFH is supported only for compatibility with existing WebSphere MQ Publish/Subscribe applications.

The default value is MQRFH.
