WebSphere Message Service Client for C/C++, Version 2.0.2 Operating Systems: AIX, Linux, Solaris, Windows

XMSC_WMQ_PROVIDER_VERSION

Data type:
String
Property of:
ConnectionFactory
The version, release, modification level and fix pack of the queue manager to which the application intends to connect. Valid values for this property are:
  • Unspecified
Or a string in one of the following formats
  • V.R.M.F
  • V.R.M
  • V.R
  • V

Where V, R, M and F are integer values greater than or equal to zero.

A value of 7 or greater indicates that this is intended as a WebSphere MQ Version 7.0 ConnectionFactory for connections to a WebSphere MQ Version 7.0 queue manager. A value lower than 7 (for example "6.0.2.0"), indicates that it is intended for use with queue managers earlier than Version 7.0. The default value, unspecified, allows connections to any level of queue manager, determining the applicable properties and functionality available based on the queue manager's capabilities.

By default this property is set to “unspecified”.

Note:
  • No socket sharing happens if XMSC_WMQ_PROVIDER_VERSION is set to 6. 2.
  • Connection will fail if XMSC_WMQ_PROVIDER_VERSION is set to 7 and on the server SHARECNV for the channel has been set 0.
  • MQ v7 specific features will be disabled if XMSC_WMQ_PROVIDER_VERSION is set to UNSPECIFIED and SHARECNV is set to 0.
The version of WebSphere MQ Client also plays major role in whether a XMS client application can use WebSphere MQ version 7 specific features. The following table describes the behavior.
Note: A system property XMSC_WMQ_OVERRIDEPROVIDERVERSION has been provided to override XMSC_WMQ_PROVIDER_VERSION property. This can be used if you are unable to change connection factory setting.
