MQSeries Connection Spec -- General

Queue manager name

The name of the queue manager instance that uniquely identifies the queue manager to be used within the network. This name can be up to 48 characters long and is case sensitive.

Request queue name

The queue used for client requests. If the Server check box is checked, this is the queue from which you read incoming requests. If the Server check box is not checked, this is the queue to which you write outgoing requests.

This name is case sensitive and can be up to 48 characters long. If this field is blank, the request queue will not be opened for input or output. If you want to use a single queue for both input and output, specify the same name in both the Request queue name and Reply queue name fields.

Reply queue name

The queue used for server replies. If the Server check box is checked, this is the queue to which you write outgoing replies. If the Server check box is not checked, this is the queue from which you read incoming replies.

This name is case sensitive and can be up to 48 characters long. If this field is blank, the reply queue will not be opened for either input or output. If you want to use a single queue for both input and output, specify the same name in both the Request queue name and Reply queue name fields.

Alternate user id

This field contains an alternate user id to be used, if any, that is used to check authorization when the message queue is opened. This is used in place of the user ID that the application is currently running under.

Sync point processing

Indicates, when checked, that the queue manager supports syncpoint participation.

Server

Indicates, when checked, that this application acts as a server. This determines the direction in which requests and replies flow.

If Server is checked, Request queue is the input queue from which client requests can be read, and Reply queue is the output queue to which replies to the client can be written.

If Server is unchecked (indicating a client application), Request queue is the output queue to which requests to the server can be written, and Reply queue is the input queue from which replies from the server can be read.
