Name

A user-defined name which identifies the MQ server. This name should be descriptive enough so users can quickly identify this MQ server when prompted to choose from a list. The name cannot exceed 50 characters.

Description

A short paragraph that describes the MQ server. The description is optional.

Connection Type

The connection type for the MQ server. The MQ server can use the JMS Standard (Java Message Service) or a connection type specific to the MQ Provider. When connecting to Websphere MQ, SonicMQ or ActiveMQ use the MQ Provider Specific type and use JNDI (JMS Standard) for others.

URL

The connection string to an MQ Provider Specific server uses the following syntax - providerCode:[transportProtocol:]//host[:port][?key1=value1&key2=value2]. More information on how the URL is constructed is available in the MQ Connection URL section in the appendix. The connection string to a JNDI (JMS Standard) server is supplied by the MQ server administrator.

JNDI Initial Context Factory

The JNDI (Java Name and Directory Interface) context factory is the fully qualified name of the class used to look up the JMS connection factory object. For example, the class may look like com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory or com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory. This is required when the connection type is set to use the JMS Standard.
