Use the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console to configure activation specifications, connection factories and destinations for the WebSphere MQ JMS provider.
This task assumes that you are working in a mixed WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere MQ environment, and that you have decided to use the WebSphere MQ messaging provider to handle JMS messaging between the two systems. If your business uses WebSphere MQ, and you want to integrate WebSphere Application Server messaging applications into a predominately WebSphere MQ network, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider is the natural choice. However, there can be benefits in using another provider. If you are not sure which provider combination is best suited to your needs, see Choosing messaging providers for a mixed environment.
You can configure JMS resources for the WebSphere MQ messaging provider through the administrative console as described in this task, or you can configure JMS resources for the WebSphere MQ messaging provider through the WebSphere MQ administrative commands.
There are two ways of specifying the information needed by WebSphere MQ messaging provider messaging resources so that they can connect to a WebSphere MQ queue manager. It can either be specified manually, or by providing the WebSphere MQ messaging provider resource with a uniform resource locator (URL) that points to a client channel definition table (CCDT).
A CCDT is a binary file that contains information about how to create a client connection channel to one or more queue managers. The file contains information such as the hostname, port, and name of the target queue manager, as well as more advanced configuration information like the SSL attributes that should be used.
For further information about generating a CCDT, see the WebSphere MQ information center.
