Configure SAF imported destinations

Before you begin

A SAF imported destination resource is a collection of imported SAF destinations that represent JMS destinations in a remote server instance or cluster. Each collection of SAF imported destinations is associated with a remote SAF context resource, and optionally, a SAF error handling resource. When a JMS producer sends messages to a SAF destination, these messages are stored on the SAF destination for future delivery. A SAF agent forwards the messages to the remote JMS destination (that the imported destination represents) when the destination is reachable, using the SAF remote context.

To configure a SAF imported destination:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
In the Administration Console, navigate to the SAF imported destination resource that you want to configure:
- Navigate to JMS Resources in System Modules
- Navigate to JMS resources in an application module
On the Configuration: General tab, update as necessary:
1. JNDI Prefix -- String that will prefix the local JNDI name of a remote destination.
2. Remote SAF Context -- Select a remote context for the imported destination.
3. Error Handling -- Select an error handling configuration for the imported destination.
4. Enable TTL Default -- Select to override the expiration time set on JMS messages.
5. Time to Live -- Default Time-To-Live value (expiration time), in milliseconds, for JMS messages.
For more information about these fields, see Configuration Options.
Save your changes:
- Save Changes to JMS Resources in System Modules
- Save changes to JMS resources in an application module
To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
