Use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to list JMS resources
for the default messaging provider, for administrative purposes.
About this task
You use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to list JMS resources,
if you want to view, modify or delete any of the following resources:
- Connection factory (unified)
- Queue connection factory
- Topic connection factory
- Queue
- Topic
- Activation specification
When you use the Administrative Console to locate these resources, two
different navigation pathways are available:
- Provider-centric navigation. This lets you view all providers (or just
those for a specified scope if required), then navigate to a specific resource
for a specific provider. This is the traditional way of navigating to a resource
when you know which provider owns it. Any navigation that starts with is provider-centric.
- Resource-centric navigation lets you view all resources of a specified
type, then navigate to a resource. This is useful if you want to find a resource,
but you do not know which provider owns it (you can list all resources of
a given type across all scopes, for all providers, in a single panel). Any
navigation that follows the pattern ,
where [resource] is one of the resource types listed above is resource-centric.
To use provider-centric navigation, for example to navigate to
a specified connection factory, complete the following steps:
- Start the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
- In the navigation pane, expand .
This opens the providers collection which lists all currently configured providers
across all scopes (you can modify the scope if required).
- From the providers collection, select the required provider. This opens
the configuration tab for that provider. The configuration tab contains a
set of links to all the resources owned by that provider.
- From the configuration tab, click the link for a resource type, for example
the connection factories link. This opens the connection factories collection
which lists all the connection factories for that provider.
- From the connection factories collection, select the required connection
factory. You can now view and work with the connection factory's properties
To use resource-centric navigation, for example to navigate to
a specified connection factory, complete the following steps:
- Start the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
- In the navigation pane, expand .
This opens the connection factories collection which lists all the connection
factories across all providers.
- From the connection factories collection, select the required connection
factory. You can now view and work with the connection factory's properties.
You can use either of these navigation pathways to locate resources of
any type.
