Configuring a message queue

Message queues are used to configure messaging receivers and messaging destinations. Additionally, message queues are used when configuring the notification destination to notify the business application of any errors. Default error notification queues are created when B2B Advanced Communications is deployed. However, you can also create custom notification queues based on your requirements.

1. Log in to B2B Advanced Communications. You must have system administrator permissions to configure a message queue.
2. Click Exchanges and select Message Queues.
3. In the Message Queues page, click New.
4. In the New Message Queue page, specify settings for the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Name	Required. Specify a name for the message queue.
   Description	Optional. Specify a description for the message queue.
   Queue Name	Required. Specify the queue name that you created in the MQ queue manager during installation.
   Queue Type	Required. Specify the queue type. Available options are: Synchronous Queue Synchronous queues are defined to handle request/reply message pattern. The calling entity puts a message on the queue and waits for a reply. Asynchronous Queue Asynchronous queues work on a publish/subscribe pattern. The calling entity sends a message to the queue, subscribes for updates, and receives replies at a later point in time. The calling entity does not waiting for a reply. The calling entity is notified when a reply arrives in a queue.

5. Click Save to save the message queue.
