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.
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
- Start the administrative console.
- Navigate to . The WebSphere MQ servers [Collection] form
is displayed.
- Click New. The WebSphere MQ server (new) [Settings] form
is displayed.
- 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.
- Click OK to confirm.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- Restart the application server.
