Use the Destination tab to specify the information necessary to access a MQ Series network.

In the Queue manager name field, type the name of the queue manager that you want to read and write to. The maximum length is 48 characters and is case sensitive

The Request Queue name is used to specify the queue used for client requests. If the Server check box is checked, this is the queue from which you read incoming requests. If the Server check box is not checked, this is the queue to which you write outgoing requests.

This name is case sensitive and can be up to 48 characters long. If this field is blank, the request queue will not be opened for input or output. If you want to use a single queue for both input and output, specify the same name in both the Request queue name and Reply queue name fields.

The Reply Queue name is used to specify the queue used for server replies. If the Server check box is checked, this is the queue to which you write outgoing replies. If the Server check box is not checked, this is the queue from which you read incoming replies.

This name is case sensitive and can be up to 48 characters long. If this field is blank, the reply queue will not be opened for either input or output. If you want to use a single queue for both input and output, specify the same name in both the Request queue name and Reply queue name fields.

In the Alternate user ID field, type the name of the alternate userid you want to use to check authorization when the queue manager is opened. You do not have to specify a value in this field. This userid is used in place of the user ID that the application is currently running under.

Select Sync point processing to specify that you want sync point processing performed by the queue manager. Sync point processing includes commit, rollback, message reads, and message writes within a LUW.

The Server checkbox indicates, when checked, that this application acts as a server. This determines the direction in which requests and replies flow.

If Server is checked, Request queue is the input queue from which client requests can be read, and Reply queue is the output queue to which replies to the client can be written.

If Server is unchecked (indicating a client application), Request queue is the output queue to which requests to the server can be written, and Reply queue is the input queue from which replies from the server can be read.
