Configure a JMS channel

An Infor Process Automation JMS channel represents and carries the information needed to establish a Java Message Service connection.

  1. Access the Process Server Administrator and select Administration > Channels Administrator.
  2. Click the JMS Channels tab.
  3. Click Actions > Create.
  4. Specify this information:
    Channel Name

    Assign a name to the channel. This can be anything you want it to be and can include numbers and special characters. Use a name that reflects the purpose of the channel.

    Enabled

    By default, the channel is enabled meaning that is available to be activated either automatically, when Infor Process Automation is started, or manually.

    If a channel is disabled, none of its receivers can be activated.

    Description

    Optional. Assign a description that provides some detail about what the channel is used for.

    JNDI Initial Factory

    The fully qualified class name of the factory class that will create an initial context.

    You must place the third-party JMS provider jar files in $LACFGDIR/LPS/jars, and then restart IPA.

    JNDI Provider URL

    URL string that specifies the service provider.

    JNDI Connection Factory Name

    Name of the location to be used to create a connection to the JMS provider.

    JNDI User

    The JNDI user ID.

    JNDI Password

    The JNDI password.

    Context Property File

    You can use a file to configure JNDI properties instead of or in addition to using the fields on the dialog box. You might want to use this simply because it is more convenient for you or in order to specify additional properties that might be available from a provider.

    If you choose to use the context property file, use this field to configure the name and location of the file.

    If the properties file conflicts with the information on the JMS connection dialog box, Infor Process Automation gives precedence to the setting on the dialog box.

    JMS User

    If supplied, these will be used when establishing the JMS connection.

    JMS Password

    If supplied, these will be used when establishing the JMS connection.

    Notify By Email If Connection Lost

    This setting is for configuring an email address to be notified if a JMS connection for a channel is lost.

    Options are:

    • None: No notifications will occur.

    • On Loss: If this option is selected, a tab appears when you save a channel configuration. Use this tab to configure the email notification information. A notification will be sent if a connection is lost.

      Values entered here override the system configuration property channelEmailTo.

      The "system" configuration set

    Test Connection

    After saving your configuration, click this button to test the new or updated connection. Alternatively, click Actions > Test Connection.

    If the properties are set up correctly, a success message appears. If the properties are not set up correctly, an error message appears.

    Note: 

    The success message looks like this:

    Disregard the "Test Connection Error" text.
