Wildcard schemes
There are two wildcard schemes used to subscribe to multiple topics. The choice of scheme is a subscription option.
- MQSO_WILDCARD_TOPIC
- Select topics to subscribe to using the topic-based wildcard scheme.
- MQSO_WILDCARD_CHAR
- Select topics to subscribe to using the character-based wildcard scheme.
Set either scheme by specifying the wschema parameter on the DEFINE SUB command. For more information, see DEFINE SUB.
Note: Subscriptions that were created before IBM® WebSphere® MQ 7.0 always use the character-based wildcard scheme.
