WebSphere MQ settings tab (Destination)

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.

Documents routed to this destination will be sent as WebSphere MQ messages. You can access this tab when you create or configure a WebSphere MQ destination.

WebSphere MQ settings

You can configure a default value and a dynamic override for each option. Default values are used to manage the documents as they are being sent to the destination. You can choose to dynamically override the default values using document properties and functions.

• To insert document properties, right-click in the desired override box and click Insert Document Property. A menu containing all of the available properties displays. You can select a property from the list or type the property name. If a property is selected and it contains a value, that value is processed instead of the default value.
• To insert functions, right-click in the box, click Insert Function, and choose the appropriate function. Review the Using Output Manager functions help topic for information on configuring functions.

Queue manager — 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 — Specifies the queue name where messages sent to this destination 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 sent.

Channel name — 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.

Connection name — 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.
