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.
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.
