Configure the JMS provider using adaptman with AdminServer for
non-interactive administration of the Progress OpenEdge JMS Adapter.
-
The JMS provider server is configured and available.
-
The Progress OpenEdge JMS Adapter is installed.
-
The required JMS provider client binaries (JAR files) are available.
- AdminServer plugin entries are configured for the JMS Adapter broker so that AdminServer can
identify and manage the broker using
adaptman. For details, see Configure AdminServer plugin entries for running the JMS Adapter broker instance.
To configure your JMS provider to work with the Progress OpenEdge JMS
Adapter when using adaptman, complete the following steps:
- Open the %DLC%\properties\AdminServerPlugins.properties file.
- Add the JMS provider client JAR files to the classpath under the
[PluginPolicy.Progress.SonicMQ]property section, as in the following examples:[PluginPolicy.Progress.SonicMQ] classpath=C:\JMS\IBM\WEBSPHERE\java\lib\com.ibm.mqjms.jar,${DLC}/java/progress.jar[PluginPolicy.Progress.SonicMQ] classpath=C:\JMS\ArtemisMQ\apache-artemis-2.11.0-bin\apache-artemis-2.11.0\lib\client\artemis-jms-client-all-2.11.0.jar,${DLC}/java/progress.jarNote: SonicMQ client JAR files are not shipped with OpenEdge. If you are using SonicMQ as a JMS provider, you must also add them to the classpath. The default is $DLC/sonic/MQ14.0/lib/sonic_client.jar. For example:
If there is more than one JAR file, provide the paths as comma-separated values.[PluginPolicy.Progress.SonicMQ] classpath=$DLC/sonic/MQ14.0/lib/sonic_client.jar,${DLC}/java/progress.jar - Update the
jvmargsandDjmsProviderproperties under the[PluginPolicy.Progress.SonicMQ]property section to specify your JMS provider.- If you are using SonicMQ as a JMS provider, add the following entry to
the
[PluginPolicy.Progress.SonicMQ]property section below theclasspath:
This provides access to the SonicMQ proprietary APIs.jvmargs=-DsonicMQExtensions=true -DjmsProvider=SonicMQ - If you are configuring another third-party JMS provider, add the
following entry to the
[PluginPolicy.Progress.SonicMQ]property section below theclasspath:jvmargs=-DsonicMQExtensions=false -DjmsProvider=ProviderName
Where ProviderName is the name of your JMS provider, such as WebSphereMQ or ArtemisMQ. The ProviderName must match the JMS provider specified in the jmsProvider.properties file. Third-party JMS providers outside of SonicMQ can use JMS Administered Objects to access the provider-specific proprietary APIs.
- If you are using SonicMQ as a JMS provider, add the following entry to
the
- Open the %DLC%\properties\jmsProvider.properties file and specify the JMS
Provider and define the Connection Factory. Several third-party JMS providers
are pre-defined with connection factory class names. If your JMS provider is not
listed, then add it to the list with the following format:
[MyJMSProvider] javax.jms.ConnectionFactory= javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory= javax.jms.TopicConnectionFactory=Note:- Do not modify the javax.jms.* property names. The property values for these property names must be specific to the JMS provider.
- The JMS Adapter does not support
jakarta.jms.*class names.
- If you require an update to your JDK version or Java Path, update the file location that you specified in the Progress OpenEdge JMS Adapter installation using the %DLC%\properties\JMSAdapterJava.properties file.
