Configuring message queues

You can configure queues either by using the Amlen WebUI or by using REST Administration APIs.

When you create queues, you must specify the following components:
  • Name
    The name that identifies the queue.
    The name must not have leading or trailing spaces and cannot contain control characters, commas, double quotation marks, backslashes, or equal signs. The first character must not be a number or any of the following special characters:
    ! # $ % & ' ( ) * + - . / : ; < > ? @
    The name cannot be the same as another queue.
  • Allow Send
    Specifies whether JMS applications can send messages to the queue. It does not stop applications from receiving messages from the queue.
  • Maximum messages
    Specifies the maximum number of messages that can be stored on the queue.
    This value can be any number in the range 1-20000000
  • Concurrent consumers
    Specifies whether multiple consumers are allowed to use the queue at the same time.
