WebSphere MQ settings tab (Source Bulk Configuration)
Use this tab to simultaneously create multiple WebSphere MQ sources. This source will receive WebSphere MQ messages.
WebSphere MQ is a message queuing system designed by IBM that runs on many platforms such as Windows, Unix, Linux, and z/OS. Output Manager provides an interface into that queuing system. Output Manager can then communicate (send and receive messages) with other applications using WebSphere MQ.
To use this source, you must
install a WebSphere MQ client separately.
Click directly in the grid to configure the source.
- Name column — Specifies the name of the WebSphere MQ source.
- Queue Manager column — Specifies the name of the queue manager. This must match the queue manager specified in WebSphere MQ. The queue manager administers the queues that have been created on it (these are known as local queues).
- Queue Name column — Specifies the queue name where messages received by this source will be stored. This must match the queue name specified in WebSphere MQ. The queue name along with the name of its queue manager, provides a unique address where messages can be received.
- Channel Name column — Each WebSphere MQ queue manager has different types of connectivity options. Since Output Manager uses TCPIP for the channel connection, you must specify the channel configured for TCPIP. You can get this name from the WebSphere MQ list of channels.
Make sure the SSL certificate required option is not selected in WebSphere MQ. Output Manager does not support this at this time.
- Connection Name column — Specifies the connection name. The connection name is the IP address and (port) or DNS name for the server to which you are attempting to connect. Messages are transferred over the connection and placed in the queue.
