Administering JMS Listening Connectors
This topic provides an overview of administering JMS listening connectors, describes prerequisites for administering JMS listening connectors, and discusses how to:
Use the JMS Listening Connector Administration page.
Start individual queue listeners and topic subscribers.
Pause individual queue listeners and topic subscribers.
Start all listener queues and topic subscribers.
Stop all listener queues and topic subscribers.
Auto-start queue listeners and topic subscribers.
The integration gateway provides access to a JMS Listening Connector Administration page that enables you view the number of available queue listeners and topic subscribers listening for JMS requests. In addition, you can use the page to perform administrative tasks such as:
Start and pause individual listeners and subscribers.
Start and stop all listeners and subscribers.
Note: The JMS Listening Connector Administration page is accessible from the local gateway only. This page will not work if an off-loaded URL is used for the gateway URL link.
To administer JMS listening connectors:
The JMS servlet must be started.
The integration gateway URL must be defined.
Note: The JMS Listening Connector Administration page is accessible from the local gateway only. This page will not work if an off-loaded URL is used for the gateway URL link.
The integration gateway connectors must be loaded.
JMS listening connectors must be configured in the integration gateway properties file, integrationGateway.properties.
To access JMS Listening Connector Administration page select and click the JMS Administration link. The page opens in a new browser window.

You can set queue listeners and topic subscribers to start automatically during the boot up of the web server by adding the following value to the web.xml file for the PSIGW application:
<listener>
<listenerclass>com.peoplesoft.pt.integrationgateway.common
.JMSInitialize</listener-class>
</listener>The location of the web.xml file is:
