Configuring Physical Destinations

For optimal performance, you can set properties when creating or updating physical destinations. Properties that can be set include the following:

• The type and name of the destination.

• Individual and aggregate limits for destinations (the maximum number of messages, the maximum number of total bytes, the maximum number of bytes per message, the maximum number of producers).

• What the broker should do when individual or aggregate limits are exceeded.

• The maximum number of messages to be delivered in a single batch.

• Whether dead messages for a destination should be sent to the dead message queue.

• Whether (in the case of a clustered broker) a destination should be replicated to other brokers in the cluster.

For a queue destination you can also configure the maximum number of back up consumers and you can specify (for clustered brokers) whether delivery to a local queue is preferred.

You can also configure the limits and behavior of the dead message queue. Note, however, that default properties for this queue differ from those of a standard queue.
