Creating a connection factory for the WebSphere MQ messaging provider by using the Create JMS Resource wizard

Use this task to create a connection factory, a queue connection factory, or a topic connection factory for use with the WebSphere® MQ messaging provider.

About this task

With JMS 1.1, domain-independent connection factories are preferred to domain-specific queue connection factories and topic connection factories.

To modify an existing connection factory, see the related tasks.

To create a connection factory, a queue connection factory, or a topic connection factory for use with the WebSphere MQ messaging provider, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

  2. Select the Scope setting corresponding to the scope of the activation specification that you want to create.
  3. Click New in the content pane to start the Create WebSphere MQ activation specification wizard.
    1. Select the WebSphere MQ messaging provider and click OK.
    2. In the Configure basic attributes panel, specify the following properties:
      Name
      The name by which this activation specification is known for administrative purposes within WebSphere Application Server.
      JNDI name
      The name that is used to bind this activation specification into the JNDI namespace.
      Description
      Optional. A description of this activation specification for administrative purposes within WebSphere Application Server.
      Click Cancel to cancel all actions and leave the wizard or click Next to continue.
  4. [nov2010] In the Select connection method panel, specify how to connect to the WebSphere MQ messaging provider by selecting one of the following options: Enter all the required information into this wizard or Use a client channel definition table . Follow the appropriate steps for the radio button you select, from the choices below:
    • To enter the connection information using the wizard select Enter all the required information into this wizard:
