IBM MQ server bus member [Settings]

A WebSphere® MQ server bus member is used for assigning queue points and mediation points to IBM MQ queues.

To view this page in the console, click the following path:

Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Bus members -> member_name.

Configuration tab

The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.

General Properties

Name

The administrative name of the IBM MQ server bus member.

Information Value
Required No
Data type String

UUID

The universal unique identifier is assigned automatically, for administrative purposes, when you create a new IBM MQ server definition.

Information Value
Required No
Data type String

Connection settings

Virtual queue manager name

When sending messages to IBM MQ, the IBM MQ gateway queue manager sees the bus as a remote queue manager. The virtual queue manager name is passed to IBM MQ as the name of the remote queue manager.

The default value is the name of the Service Integration bus. If this bus name is not a valid name for a IBM MQ queue manager, or if another IBM MQ queue manager already has the same name, replace the default value with a unique, valid name for a IBM MQ queue manager.
  • It must contain between 1 and 48 characters.
  • It must conform to the IBM MQ queue naming rules (see the Rules for naming IBM MQ objects topic in the IBM MQ information center).
Information Value
Required Yes
Data type String

Override WebSphere MQ Server connection properties

When you select this checkbox, the bus-specific properties override the IBM MQ server connection properties. To reset the connection settings to the IBM MQ server default values, deselect this checkbox and apply the change.

Information Value
Required No
Data type Boolean

WebSphere MQ Host

The name of the IBM MQ server's host.

This is either the symbolic name or the IP address of the host to which a connection is established for communicating with the queue manager or queue-sharing group that this IBM MQ server represents. The value is a string and must be one of the following:
  • Symbolic host name
  • IPv4 address
  • IPv6 address
Information Value
Required No
Data type String

Port

The IBM MQ server port. This value is the TCP/IP port number on which the queue manager or queue-sharing group that this IBM MQ server represents listens. This value is used when attempting to establish client transport mode connections to IBM MQ. The default value is 1414

Information Value
Required No
Data type Integer

Transport chain name

The name of the IBM MQ server transport chain. This is the transport chain that is used to establish an outbound network connection to the IBM MQ server.

Information Value
Required No
Data type drop-down list

WebSphere MQ channel

The name of the IBM MQ server's channel. This value is the IBM MQ client channel name to use when connecting to the queue manager or queue-sharing group that this IBM MQ server represents. The default value is SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN

Information Value
Required No
Data type String

Messaging authentication alias

The name of IBM MQ server's authentication alias. This is the name that is used for exchanging messages with IBM MQ.

Information Value
Required No
Data type drop-down list

Trust user identifiers received in messages

The WebSphere MQ server's trust user identifier setting. This value determines whether user identifiers that are received in messages from IBM MQ are propagated into the message (that is, whether user identifiers that are received as part of message data are used in the service integration bus).

If you select this checkbox, user identifiers that are received as part of IBM MQ messages are propagated into messages and used for security purposes within the bus. If you do not select this checkbox, the user identifier is overwritten with the IBM MQ server name.
Information Value
Required No
Data type Boolean

Test connection

After you have configured the Connection properties, click this button to test the connection to IBM MQ.
