A IBM MQ server represents an IBM MQ queue manager or (for WebSphere® MQ for z/OS®) queue-sharing group. To create
a IBM MQ
server definition, you use the administrative console to define the server
connection and quality of service properties.
Before you begin
Decide which method to use to configure these resources. You can create a new IBM MQ server definition by using the administrative console as
described in this task, or by using the createSIBWMQServer command.
About this task
A IBM MQ
server definition defines the connection to an underlying IBM MQ queue
manager or queue-sharing group and the associated queues.
When you subsequently
add the server as a member of a service integration bus, you can optionally
override the server connection settings with the bus connection settings.
This means that you can create a IBM MQ server definition that
is specific to a bus, yet reusable in a multiple bus topology.
Procedure
- Start the administrative console.
- Complete either of the following sub-steps:
- Navigate to , choose
a server type of
IBM MQ server
, then click
Next.
- Navigate to , then click
New.
- Complete the fields as required.
- Name
- The name that you use for this IBM MQ server definition must be unique.
- UUID
- This identifier is assigned automatically when you create a new IBM MQ server definition.
- Use bindings transport mode if available
- To connect to a IBM MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group in bindings mode, WebSphere Application Server needs to know where to load native libraries from. This information is stored in the Native library path property of the IBM MQ messaging provider. If you want to use a direct binding to IBM MQ, rather than a TCP/IP network connection, select this option and configure the Native library path property.
- If you are using Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) as the security manager on your IBM MQ for z/OS system, and using bindings transport mode, you must specify in uppercase characters the user names and passwords for authentication aliases. If you are using RACF and client transport mode, you can specify the user names and passwords in either uppercase or lowercase characters.
- Test connection
- After you have configured the Connection properties, click this button to test the connection to IBM MQ.
- Trust user identifiers received in messages
- Select this option if you do not want the user IDs in messages to be overwritten with the administrative name of the IBM MQ server.
- JAAS - J2C authentication data
- This item is not available until after the IBM MQ server definition has been created.
- Click OK to confirm.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- Restart the application server.
