When JMS clients use the Universal Messaging initial context for JNDI, they also reference the topics and queues from the same initial context. In order for the clients to access these objects, you must create references to each topic and queue. Creating such references also creates the underlying channel or queue if it does not already exist, or you can create a reference that corresponds to a channel or queue that already exists. Note that channels or queues created in this way have the same default permissions as channels or queues created manually.

To create a reference to a channel or queue on the JNDI tab of a realm, right-click the Queues or Topics node, then select New Queue or New Topic and specify a name for the queue or topic.

For example, if you create a topic named rates, and no corresponding channel existed previously, the Enterprise Manager creates the rate topic under the Topics node in the JNDI namespace as well as a new channel named rates that corresponds to it.
