MQ Server form - Completing the Environment tab
Use the Environment tab to specify information for connecting to an IBM MQ server.
Field | Description |
Apply MQ bindings transport | Select to use MQ bindings transport to connect to the IBM MQ server. |
Hostname |
Enter the network name of the IBM MQ server host.
This field supports the
Global Resource Settings syntax (=
PageName.PropertyName
). The
default property name for this field is
|
Port number |
Enter the TCP/IP port used for communicating with the IBM MQ server.
This

|
Channel |
Enter the channel name on the IBM MQ server.
This field supports the

PageName.PropertyName
). The
default property name for this field is
|
User ID |
Identify an MQ user ID for connecting to the IBM MQ server.
This field supports the Global Resource Settings syntax (=

Apply TCP security settings (SSL/TLS) | Select to enable your application to send and receive queued messages securely with IBM MQ by using SSL or TLS. |
Cryptographic security level (Filters IBM MQ cipher suites) |
Select the category of cryptographic security standard that the system uses to
filter the
IBM MQ cipher suite
list.
A cipher suite contains the algorithms used for key exchange, hash, authentication, and cryptography. Select the type of cipher suite that provides the level of protection best suited for your requirements.
|
IBM MQ cipher suite |
Select a cipher suite used to negotiate the security settings between the
Pega Platform
client and the IBM MQ server.
The current run time environment that you are using for your Pega Platform may not support all of the cipher suites for your selected cryptographic security level. See the Pega Community article IBM MQ server support for secure message queuing
|
Truststore | Enter or create a Truststore record that contains the IBM MQ server certificate to use in the SSL or TLS handshake. |
Keystore | Enter or create a Keystore record for storing the Pega Platform client's private/public key pair that is used by the IBM MQ server to authenticate the client. |
Secret key reset count (# of bytes sent/received before TLS renegotiation) | Enter the number of bytes that are sent or received within the SSL or TLS conversation before the secret key is renegotiated. |
Peer name | Enter a distinguished name pattern that allows the queue manager to identify itself by using an SSL or TLS certificate. This pattern ensures that your application communicates with the correct queue manager. It should comply with validation rules defined by IBM MQ for SSLPEER values. |
Test connectivity |
After you complete this form and save the data instance, click to confirm that
your system can connect to the MQ server.
The system attempts to connect to the server only; no messages are processed. The system presents test results in a separate window, identifying the parameters used in the test, the steps attempted, and the outcome of each step. |
MQ Explore | Click this button to display the MQ Queue Details in a separate window. In the MQ Explorer, choose a Queue Manager and Queue Name using the SmartPrompt. Click Browse Messages to view all messages in the queue. If you have the proper role and privilege, you can perform the following actions:
