Creating WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue destinations

Perform these steps to create the JMS queues required for the WebSphere Commerce listener for WebSphere MQ.

About this task

The JMS queues map to the WebSphere MQ message queues you identified or created in Configuring WebSphere MQ for use with WebSphere Commerce. The JMS queues map to the WebSphere MQ message queues as follows:

JMS queue to WebSphere MQ queue mappings
JMS queue	WebSphere MQ queue	Target Client
JMSSerialInboundQueue	`hostname.inbounds`	JMS
JMSParallelInboundQueue	`hostname.inboundp`	JMS
JMSInboundQueue	`hostname.inbound`	JMS
JMSOutboundQueue	`hostname.outbound`	MQ
JMSErrorQueue	`hostname.error`	MQ

where hostname is the TCP/IP name of the machine running WebSphere MQ.

A JMS queue is created by creating a WebSphere MQ messaging provider queue destination in WebSphere Application Server.

The JMS queue names provided in the table are the default names used by WebSphere Commerce. If you have modified the JMS queue names using the WebSphere Commerce Configuration manager, the JMS queue names must be changed to match the new queue names.

If you have used any customized JMS queue names or JMS queue connection factory names using the WebSphere Commerce Configuration Manager or editing the WebSphere Commerce configuration file, the JMS queue names must be added here to match the new queue names of WebSphere MQ.

Note: The number of queues to define depends on the application with which WebSphere Commerce is integrated. These five queues are the minimum number of queues required for integration.

Important: The queue name are case-sensitive. Ensure that you use the correct case for the queue names.

Procedure

In the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console navigation tree, expand Resources and select JMS then Queues.
Select the scope of the queue connection factory from the list. The node value should be WC_instance_name, where instance_name is the name of the WebSphere Commerce instance. It is recommended to create it under the scope of Node=WC_instance name_node, Server=server1 level.
Click New.
Select WebSphere MQ messaging provider and click OK.

Create new queues for each inbound queue in the table above as follows:

Option	Description
Name	Enter a name for the new WebSphere MQ messaging provider inbound queue destination as shown in the JMS Queue column. For example, JMSSerialInboundQueue.
JNDI name	Enter the JNDI name for the new WebSphere MQ messaging provider inbound queue destination. Use the same name as entered in the Name field. For example, JMSSerialInboundQueue.
Queue name	Enter the queue name for the WebSphere MQ Queue as shown in the WebSphere MQ queue column. For example, `hostname.inbounds`.

Click OK.

Create new queues for each outbound and error queue in the table above as follows:

Option	Description
Name	Enter a name for the new WebSphere MQ messaging provider outbound or error queue destination as shown in the JMS Queue column. For example, JMSOutboundQueue or JMSErrorQueue.
JNDI name	Enter the JNDI name for the new WebSphere MQ messaging provider outbound or error queue destination. Use the same name as entered in the Name field. For example, JMSSerialInboundQueue or JMSErrorQueue.
Queue name	Enter the queue name for the WebSphere MQ Queue as shown in the WebSphere MQ queue column. For example, `hostname.outbound` or `hostname.error`.

For each outbound and error queue, click Apply.

Click Advanced properties.
Clear the Append RFH version 2 headers to messages sent to this destination check box.
Click OK.

When you have created all of the JMS queues:
1. Click Save in the Administrative Console task bar.
2. On the Save page, click Save.
