Adding a Destination

When creating an administered object representing a destination, it is good practice to create the physical destination first, before adding the administered object to the object store. Use the Command utility (imqcmd) to create the physical destination, as described in Creating a Physical Destination.

The command shown in Example 8–2 adds an administered object to an LDAP object store representing a topic destination with lookup name myTopic and physical destination name physTopic. The command for adding a queue destination would be similar, except that the administered object type (-t option) would be q (for “queue destination”) instead of t (for “topic destination”).

Example 8–2 Adding a Destination to an LDAP Object Store

imqobjmgr add
   -l "cn=myTopic"
   -j "java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
   -j "java.naming.provider.url=ldap://mydomain.com:389/o=imq"
   -j "java.naming.security.principal=uid=homerSimpson,ou=People,o=imq"
   -j "java.naming.security.credentials=doh"
   -j "java.naming.security.authentication=simple"
   -t t
   -o "imqDestinationName=physTopic"

Example 8–3 shows the same command, but with the administered object stored in a Solaris file system instead of an LDAP server.

Example 8–3 Adding a Destination to a File-System Object Store

imqobjmgr add
   -l "cn=myTopic"
   -j "java.naming.factory.initial=
           com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory"
   -j "java.naming.provider.url=file:///home/foo/imq_admin_objects"
   -t t
   -o "imqDestinationName=physTopic"
