For more information about encoding properties, see Using Java in the WebSphere MQ information center.

If native encoding is not enabled, select whether decimal encoding is normal or reversed.

Data type Enum
Default NORMAL
Range
NORMAL
Normal decimal encoding is used.

Native encoding

Indicates that the queue destination uses native encoding (appropriate encoding values for the Java platform) when you select this check box.

Data type Enum
Default Cleared
Range
Cleared
Native encoding is not used, so specify the previous properties for integer, decimal and floating point encoding.
Selected
Native encoding is used (to provide appropriate encoding values for the Java platform).

For more information about encoding properties, see Using Java in the WebSphere MQ information center.

BrokerDurSubQueue

The subscriber specifies the name of the queue when it registers a subscription.

Data type String
Units En_US ASCII characters
Range 1 through 48 ASCII characters
BrokerCCDurSubQueue

Target Client

Whether the receiving application is JMS compliant or is a traditional WebSphere MQ application.

Data type Enum
Default WebSphere MQ
Range
WebSphere MQ
The target is a traditional WebSphere MQ application that does not support JMS.

The target application supports JMS.
Message body

Specifies whether an application processes the RFH version 2 header of a WebSphere MQ message as part of the JMS message body.

Data type Drop-down list
Default UNSPECIFIED
Range
UNSPECIFIED
When sending messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider does or does not generate and include an RFH version 2 header, depending on the value of the Append RFH version 2 headers to messages sent to this destination property. When receiving messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider acts as if the value is set to JMS.
JMS
When sending messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider automatically generates an RFH version 2 header and includes it in the WebSphere MQ message. When receiving messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider sets the JMS message properties according to values in the RFH version 2 header (if these value are present); it does not present the RFH version 2 header as part of the JMS message body.
MQ
When sending messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider does not generate an RFH version 2 header. When receiving messages, the WebSphere MQ messaging provider presents the RFH version 2 header as part of the JMS message body.
ReplyTo destination style

Specifies the format of the JMSReplyTo field.

Data type Drop-down list
Default DEFAULT
Range
DEFAULT
The default value is equivalent to the information in the RFH version 2 header.
MQMD
Use the value supplied in the MQMD. This populates the reply to queue manager field with the value from the MQMD, equivalent to the default behaviour of WebSphere MQ Version 6.0.2.4 and 6.0.2.5.
RFH2
Use the value supplied in the RFH version 2 header. If the sending application set a JMSReplyTo value, then that value is used.
Multicast

Whether this connection factory uses multicast transport.

Data type Enum
Default AS_CF
Range
AS_CF
This connection factory uses multicast transport.
DISABLED
This connection factory does not use multicast transport.
NOT_RELIABLE
This connection factory always uses multicast transport.
RELIABLE
This connection factory uses multicast transport when the topic destination is not reliable.
ENABLED
This connection factory uses reliable multicast transport.
MQMD read enabled

Specifies whether an application can read the values of MQMD fields from JMS messages that have been sent or received using the WebSphere MQ messaging provider.

Data type Check box
Default Cleared
Range

Applications can read the values of the MQMD fields.
MQMD write enabled

Specifies whether an application can write the values of MQMD fields from JMS messages that have been sent or received using the WebSphere MQ messaging provider.

Data type Check box

Range
Cleared
Applications cannot write the values of the MQMD fields.
Selected
Applications can write the values of the MQMD fields.
MQMD message context

DEFAULT
The MQOPEN API call and the MQPMO structure specify no explicit message context options.
