Configuring properties for the WebSphere MQ resource adapter

You can configure the WebSphere® MQ resource adapter properties that affect the connection pool, which is used by WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specifications.

About this task

There are four properties that are used to configure the WebSphere MQ resource adapter used by the WebSphere MQ messaging provider:
  • maxConnections
  • connectionConcurrency
  • reconnectionRetryCount
  • reconnectionRetryInterval
These four properties affect the connection pool, which is used by the WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specifications. They do not affect the WebSphere MQ messaging provider queues, topics, or connection factories.

For further information about these properties, see Configuration of the ResourceAdapter object in the WebSphere MQ information center.

To configure the WebSphere MQ resource adapter properties, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Resources > JMS ->JMS providers to display a list of JMS providers in the content pane.
  2. If you want to manage JMS resources that are defined at a different scope setting, change the Scope setting to the required level.
    Note: These properties only have an effect on the WebSphere MQ messaging provider objects that are defined at the same scope as the messaging provider and resource adapter on which they are set. So, for example, if you set the max connections property to a particular setting at the server scope, only the server scoped WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specifications are affected by this setting.
  3. In the Providers column of the displayed list of JMS providers, click the name of the WebSphere MQ messaging provider that you want to work with.
  4. In the content pane under Additional properties, click Resource adapter properties to view the configuration page for the properties.
  5. Specify the required values for the properties:
    Max connections
    The maximum number of connections to a WebSphere MQ queue manager.
    Connection concurrency
    The maximum number of message-driven beans that can be supplied by each connection.
    Reconnection retry count
    The maximum number of attempts made by a WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specification to reconnect to a WebSphere MQ queue manager if a connection fails.
    Reconnection retry interval
    The time, in milliseconds, that a WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specification waits before making another attempt to reconnect to a WebSphere MQ queue manager.
  6. Click Apply. This defines the property to WebSphere Application Server, and enables you to browse or change additional properties.
  7. Save any changes to the master configuration.
  8. To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the application server.
