Creating a WebSphere MQ server definition

You use a WebSphere MQ server to configure a direct (single bus) connection to a WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue manager or queue sharing group. To create a WebSphere MQ server definition, you use the administrative console to define the server's connection and quality of service properties.

Before you begin

You can create a new WebSphere MQ server definition through the administrative console as described in this task, or you can create a new WebSphere MQ server definition using the wsadmin tool.

About this task

When you create a new WebSphere MQ server definition, you specify its connection and quality of service properties. 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 WebSphere MQ server definition that is specific to a bus, yet reusable in a multiple bus topology.

Procedure

  1. Start the administrative console.
  2. Navigate to Servers > WebSphere MQ servers. The WebSphere MQ servers [Collection] form is displayed.
  3. Click New. The WebSphere MQ server (new) [Settings] form is displayed.
  4. Complete the fields as required.
    For more information, refer to the WebSphere MQ server (new) [Settings] form and the following notes:
    Name
    The name that you use for this WebSphere MQ server definition must be unique.
    Use bindings transport mode if available
    The bus uses the WebSphere Application Server MQ_INSTALL_ROOT environment variable to find WebSphere MQ. If you want to use a direct binding to WebSphere MQ, rather than a TCP/IP network connection, select this option and configure the MQ_INSTALL_ROOT variable as described in Installing WebSphere MQ to interoperate with WebSphere Application Server.
    If you are using Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) as the security manager on your WebSphere 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 upper or lower case characters.
    Test connection
    After you have configured the Connection properties, click this button to test the connection to WebSphere MQ.
    Trust user identifiers received in messages
    Select this option if you do not want the user identifiers in messages to be overwritten with the administrative name of the WebSphere MQ server.
    JAAS - J2C authentication data
    This item is not available until after the new WebSphere MQ server definition has been created.
  5. Click OK to confirm.
  6. Save your changes to the master configuration.
  7. Restart the application server.
What to do next
You are now ready to add the new WebSphere MQ server as a member of a bus.
