Configuring the queues for WebSphere Application Server

Associating a queue with an e-mail listener can speed up the sequential processing of incoming e-mails, especially when they are arriving in high volume. You can configure the JMS queues for IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, and associate the queues with listeners.

Procedure

  1. Start the WebSphere Application Server.
  2. Launch Microsoft Internet Explorer and open the WebSphere administrative console by typing the following URL:

    http://<machine_name>:<port_number>/ibm/console

    For example, type a URL like the following URL:

    http://localhost:9060/ibm/console

  3. At the Welcome screen, enter your User ID then click Log in.
  4. If necessary, create the MAXIMOSERVER application server:
    1. In the navigation pane, first, click Servers, then Application Servers, and then select New. Ensure that the application node is ctgNode01.
    2. In the Server name field, enter MAXIMOSERVER, and then click Next.
    3. Click Next to accept the default server template.
    4. Verify that the Generate Unique Ports check box is selected and click Next.
    5. From Confirm new server, click Finish.
    6. Save the changes to the master configuration.
  5. Change the MAXIMOSERVER JVM heap size properties:
    1. In the navigation pane, click Servers and then select Application Servers.
    2. Click MAXIMOSERVER.
    3. In the Server Infrastructure section, click Process Definition in the Java™ and Process Management section.
    4. In Additional Properties, click Java Virtual Machine.
    5. Set the Initial Heap Size to 1536 for a 32 Bit JVM and to 4096 for a 64 Bit JVM.
    6. Set the Maximum Heap size to 1536 for a 32 Bit JVM and to 4096 for a 64 Bit JVM.
    7. Click OK and then click Save.
  6. To start the MAXIMOSERVER, click Servers and then clickApplication Servers. Select MAXIMOSERVER and click Start.

  9. To add a new service integration bus:
    1. Type a text description of the new bus in the Name field. For example, lsnrjmsbus.
    2. Clear the Secure check box. If you leave this box checked, lsnrjmsbus inherits the Global Security setting of the cell.
    3. In the High message threshold field, change the value to a minimum value of 500,000 messages.
    4. Accept all other default settings.
  10. Click Next and then click Finish.
  11. Click Save to extend the JMS bus setup to the cluster configuration.
  12. Confirm that the build completed screen displays the following message:
    Bus name, for example, lsnrjmsbus.
    Auto-generated, unique ID (UUID), for example, 4BCAC78E15820FED.
    The Secure field is unchecked.
