Modifying an IBM MQ server definition

A IBM MQ server represents a IBM MQ queue manager or (for WebSphere® MQ for z/OS®) queue-sharing group. This topic describes how to modify a IBM MQ server connection and quality of service properties.

Before you begin

Decide which method to use to configure these resources. You can modify a IBM MQ server by using the administrative console as described in this task, or by using the modifySIBWMQServer command.

About this task

A IBM MQ server definition defines the connection to an underlying IBM MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group and the associated queues.

When you modify a IBM MQ server definition, you do not change any configuration values previously inherited from this IBM MQ server by existing bus members. For example, suppose you create a IBM MQ server with the port number 1234, then add the server to a bus and specify that server port number. If you subsequently modify the IBM MQ server port number to 2345, the bus member you previously created is not affected and still has the port number 1234.

Procedure

  1. Start the administrative console.
  2. Navigate to Servers -> Server Types -> IBM MQ servers -> server_name. The IBM MQ server [Settings] form is displayed.
  3. Make modifications as required.
    For more information, refer to the IBM MQ server [Settings] form and the following notes:
    UUID
    This identifier is assigned automatically when you create a new IBM MQ server definition.
    Use bindings transport mode if available
    To connect to a IBM MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group in bindings mode, WebSphere Application Server needs to know where to load native libraries from. This information is stored in the Native library path property of the IBM MQ messaging provider. If you want to use a direct binding to IBM MQ, rather than a TCP/IP network connection, select this option and configure the Native library path property as described in Configuring the IBM MQ messaging provider with native libraries information.
    If you are using Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) as the security manager on your IBM MQ for z/OS system, and using bindings transport mode, you must specify in uppercase characters the user names and passwords for authentication aliases. If you are using RACF and client transport mode, you can specify the user names and passwords in either upper or lowercase characters.
    Test connection
    After you have configured the Connection properties, click this button to test the connection to IBM MQ.
    Trust user identifiers received in messages
    Select this option if you do not want the user IDs in messages to be overwritten with the administrative name of the IBM MQ server.
  4. Click OK to confirm.
  5. Save your changes to the master configuration.
  6. Restart the application server.
