Configuring New Listeners
When you configure MSMQ Adapter listeners, you specify information that Integration Server uses to enable listeners to listen for, and get messages on, a specified queue.
You configure MSMQ Adapter listeners using Integration Server Administrator.
*To configure a new listener
1. In the Adapters menu in Integration Server Administrator navigation area, click MSMQ Adapter.
2. In the MSMQ Adapter menu, click Listeners.
3. On the Listeners screen, click Configure New Listener.
4. On the Listeners Type screen, click MSMQ Adapter.
5. On the Configure Listener Type screen, in the MSMQ Adapter section, complete the following fields:
Parameter
Description/Action
Package
The package in which to create the listener.
Create the listener in a user-defined package rather than in the adapter's package. For other important considerations when creating packages for MSMQ Adapter, see Package Management.
You must create the package using Designer before you can specify it using this parameter. For general information about creating packages, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.
Folder Name
The folder in which to create the listener.
Listener Name
The name of the listener you are configuring.
Connection Name
The connection to associate with the listener.
From the list of connections, select a connection with a Queue Access Mode set to Inbound.
Listeners exhibit different behaviors when they are associated with a transactional connection than with non-transactional connection. For more information about the differences, see Listener Transactionality and Behavior.
Important:
If you are using the adapter with Integration Server 8.0 SP1 or earlier, listeners cannot share connections with adapter services. However, listeners can share connections with other listeners.
Retry Limit
The number of times the adapter tries to reconnect if the adapter fails to connect or loses connection with the message queuing computer. Default: 5.
Retry Backoff Timeout
The number of seconds that elapse between each of the retries specified in Retry Limit. Default: 10.
6. In the Listener Properties section, complete the following fields:
Parameter
Description/Action
Timeout
Time that the message queuing will wait for a message to arrive. Enter this value in milliseconds. Default: 20000
Reset Before Operation
Select one of the following:
*true - Move the cursor to the front of the queue.
*false - Do not move the cursor.
7. Click Save Listener.
