Create topics

Before you begin


The publish/subscribe (pub/sub) messaging model enables an application to send a message to multiple applications. Pub/sub messaging applications send and receive messages by subscribing to a topic.

To create a topic:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the Administration Console, expand Services > Messaging and select JMS Modules.
  3. In the JMS Modules table, click the name of JMS module in which to configure the topic resource.
  4. On the module's Settings page, click the New button in the Summary of Resources table.
  5. On the Create a New JMS System Module Resource page, use the Type drop-down to select Topic.
  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Topic Properties page:
    1. In Name, enter a name for the topic.
    2. In JNDI Name, enter a name for accessing the topic within the JNDI namespace.
    3. If you are using a JMS template to define the topic's settings, in Template, select a pre-configured template for the topic.

    Note: Once you create a topic, you cannot rename it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the new name.

  8. Click Next.
  9. On the targeting page:
    1. In Subdeployments, select a subdeployment for the topic. If necessary, you can create a new subdeployment by clicking the Create a New Subdeployment button. A SubDeployment is a mechanism by which multiple topics are grouped and targeted to a JMS server.

      When a SubDeployment is selected, its targeted JMS server appears as selected in the Targets box.

    2. If you are not using subdeployments, in the Targets box, select the JMS server on which to deploy the topic.

    You can also reconfigure deployment targets later if you wish. For more information about targeting topics, refer to Target topics.

  10. Click Finish.

    The new topic is added to the module's Summary of Resources table.

  11. 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).

After you finish

If you want to configure additional parameters for the new topic, including general properties, thresholds and quotas, producer overrides, logging, message delivery failure, and multicast properties, see Configure topics.
