Configuring custom properties for the WebSphere MQ resource adapter

In addition to the standard properties that you can specify for the WebSphere® MQ resource adapter, you can configure custom properties for WebSphere MQ resource adapter.

About this task

WebSphere Application Server supports the use of custom properties to define WebSphere MQ properties. This is useful because it enables WebSphere Application Server to work with later versions of WebSphere MQ that might have properties that are not exposed in WebSphere Application Server.

For example, you can configure the following four properties for the WebSphere MQ resource adapter used by the WebSphere MQ messaging provider, as custom properties:
  • maxConnections
  • connectionConcurrency
  • reconnectionRetryCount
  • reconnectionRetryInterval
You can specify these properties as custom properties in WebSphere Application Server, using the administrative console:

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters . If you cannot see your WebSphere MQ resource adapter, expand Preferences, select Show built-in resources, then click Apply.
  2. Optional: Change the Scopesetting to the level at which the resource adapter is visible to applications. This must be the same scope as the activation specification that uses these properties.
  3. Change the Scopesetting to the level at which the resource adapter is visible to applications. This must be the same scope as the activation specification that uses these properties.
  4. In the contents pane, select the specific WebSphere MQ resource adapter. This displays information about the resource.
  5. Click [Additional Properties] Custom properties.
  6. Click the name of the property you want to modify, then modify the value of the property.
  7. Click Apply. This defines the custom property to WebSphere Application Server, and enables you to browse or change additional properties.
  8. Save any changes to the master configuration.
  9. To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the application server.
