WebSphere MQ messaging provider topic settings

Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected JMS topic destination for publish/subscribe messaging with WebSphere® MQ as a messaging provider.

A WebSphere MQ topic destination is used to configure the properties of a topic for the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. Connections to the topic are created using an associated WebSphere MQ topic connection factory or connection factory.

To view WebSphere MQ topic settings, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:
  1. In the navigation pane, click Resources > JMS ->Topics to display existing topic destinations.
  2. Select the name of the topic destination that you want to work with.
  3. Optional: To create a new topic destination, click New.
  4. Optional: To view or change the topic destination settings, select its name in the list displayed.
Under General Properties there are two groups of properties:
Make any required changes to the Administration and WebSphere MQ topic groups of properties, and then click Apply to save the configuration before, in the content pane under Additional Properties, you click either of the following links:

Under Related items, you can click JAAS - J2C authentication data to configure authentication information for use with the topic.

You can specify the following additional properties by using WebSphere MQ administrative commands:

For more information about these properties, refer to the createWMQTopic command.

Note: When specifying WebSphere MQ properties, the following restrictions apply:

If WebSphere MQ functionality has been disabled at a scope that affects this WebSphere MQ messaging provider resource, then an informational message indicating that WebSphere MQ has been disabled appears. In a single server environment this informational message is only displayed when the server is restarted after WebSphere MQ functionality has been disabled. In a network deployment environment the informational message is displayed immediately. For more information see Disabling WebSphere MQ functionality in WebSphere Application Server.

Scope

The scope assigned to the topic when it is created. The scope specifies the level to which this topic definition is visible to applications.

Resources such as messaging providers, namespace bindings, or shared libraries can be defined at multiple scopes, with resources defined at more specific scopes overriding duplicates that are defined at more general scopes.

The scope displayed is for information only, and cannot be changed on this panel. If you want to browse or change this resource at a different scope, change the scope on the WebSphere MQ topic destination collection panel, then click Apply, before clicking the link for the type of resource.
