Configuring IBM MQ Information

If you are using an IBM WebSphere MQ messaging system, enter the following information on the MQ Messaging Information page of the Create Connection wizard.

  1. Choose an MQ message type:

    • MQ for IBM MQ Messaging System

    • MQJMS for IBM MQ JMS Messaging System

  2. Choose:

    • Local Server, if you are running the MQ server daemon (IBM MQ server) on your local machine.

    • Local Client, if you are running the MQ client daemon (IBM MQ client) on your local machine.

    Select the encoding type you want to use for the message:

    • Default – to use standard character encoding.

    • UTF – to use the UTF character encoding.

  3. Enter the host name where the MQ Server daemon is running. For example, enter mqbiz2-pc.

  4. Enter the channel name for the IBM MQ server connection.

    If you have selected MQ JMS as the MQ message type, enter the port number in the channel field. For example, enter 1414.

  5. In the Queue Manager/Factory field, enter the name of the IBM MQ queue manager. For example, enter MQBiz2QM.

  6. In the Queue Name field, enter the name of the IBM MQ destination. For example, enter MQBiz2Queue.

  7. Enter the user name and password to connect to IBM MQ Server.

    NoteVerify that this user name and password combination has permission to connect to the queue manager defined in the Queue Manager/Factory field and for the destination name defined in Queue Name field.

  8. If you are routing events from a messaging system to a database, enter the error queue name in the Status Destination field.

    The status destination queue is used by client applications to catch error messages, which may stop applications from sending events to the database.
