Creating an activation specification for the WebSphere MQ messaging provider

Use this task to create an activation specification for use with the WebSphere® MQ messaging provider.

About this task

To create an activation specification for use with the WebSphere MQ messaging provider, use the administrative console to complete the following steps. You can choose either to enter all the required connection information using the Create WebSphere MQ JMS resource wizard or to use a client channel definition table (CCDT) to establish a connection to the WebSphere MQ messaging provider.

For information about modifying an existing activation specification, see the related tasks.
