Application stanza of the client configuration file

Use the Application stanza to specify attributes which influence the uniform cluster balancing behavior for a specific application connecting using this configuration. Values in this stanza take precedence over the ApplicationDefaults stanza, but can be overridden by an MQBNO structure provided through a program.

Note: The description of each attribute of this stanza indicates which IBM® MQ clients can read that attribute. For a summary table for all IBM MQ MQI client configuration file stanzas, see Which IBM MQ attributes can be read by each client.

The following attributes can be included in the Application stanza:

Name = ApplicationName: Identifies which application name the options apply to.
Type = Simple,ReqRep: Indicates to IBM MQ the general pattern of IBM MQ activity in which this application participates.
BalanceTimeout = Never,Immediate,0-999999999,Default: Indicates to IBM MQ the timeout before application activity can be interrupted to permit re-balancing; either never, or a value up to a maximum of 999,999,999 seconds, with a default value of 10 seconds.
BalanceOptions = None,IgnTrans: Either no balancing options are set or permits immediate interruption of applications currently involved in a transaction.
