Configuring the JMS transport

The JMS transport allows the probe to connect to and receive messages from a JMS provider.

JMS transport properties

The following table describes the properties used to configure the jmsTransport.properties file.

Table 1. JMS transport properties
Property name	Description
jmsFilter	Use this property to specify the expression for JMS servers for sending the intended messages or events to the probe. Note: This property is only used if the probe subscribes to a topic.
initialContextFactory	Use this property to specify the context factory class name of the JMS provider. Note: The initialContextFactory is the initial context factory for the Java™ Naming Directory Interface (JNDI) provider being used. The default is the Websphere JNDI provider.

Note: If you specify a binding file, always create that file using the IBM® WebSphere® MQ JMS Administration tool. In addition, copy the WebSphere jar files to the $OMNIHOME/java directory. For information about creating binding files and JMS Administration tool jar files, see the IBM WebSphere MQ documentation.
