Configuring an MQ node by using an MQ Service

You can use your MQ Service to configure connection properties for an MQ node in several different ways.

Before you begin

  • A queue manager must be specified on the integration node. On distributed systems, if there is no queue manager specified, you must configure the destination queue manager for the MQ node.
  • Create an MQ Service. For more information, see Creating an MQ Service.
