Properties
You can view and change properties that define integration node characteristics, and those properties of associated resources such as message flows.
- Integration node properties
- Each integration node has a set of properties that define certain characteristics that you can control:
- You can set some integration node properties only at the time that you create the integration node by using the mqsicreatebroker command; for example, its associated queue manager.
- You can access some integration node properties from ESQL and Java™ programs that you run in message flow nodes.
- Message flow node properties
- Each built-in (supplied) node has at least one property that you
can configure; some properties are mandatory, others are optional.
In addition to setting these properties for each node when you add
it to a message flow, you can also use the following configuration
techniques:
- You can promote properties, so that you can set them at the message flow level. For information about how and why you might want to use this technique, see Promoted properties.
- You can configure properties when you add the message flow to a BAR file for deployment. In each node description, the subset of node properties that you can use in this way are identified.
- You can override some of the properties that are set on message flow nodes by using policies (see Overriding properties at run time with policies).
- User-defined properties
- You can create your own properties when you create a message flow, and access those properties from ESQL and Java programs in your message flow nodes. For further details, see User-defined properties
