Understand the process to integrate IBM WebSphere MQ on Tomcat
We are trying to integrate Tomcat with IBM WebSphere MQ.
In the following PDN link, Pega has provided the process to integrate Tomcat with IBM WebSphere MQ. Need to understand the actions to be done in details as the steps are mentioned in High level.
https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/integrate-tomcat-websphere-ibm-mq
In the following article, under Resolution, it mentions about the following steps to be performed –
-
Define MQ JMS (Java Message Service) Administered objects such as Queue Connection Factory, Queue, etc. The MQ Explorer is the tool provided by IBM.
- Does this mean we need to define the instances of QueueConnectionFactory, and Queue, respectively, in context.xml. -
Copy the resulting .bindings file to a location on the Tomcat server.
How can we get the bindings file, and is there any alternative way instead of using bindings file.

1. Yes but no need for context.xml. You should work with your MQ admin to define that or refer to any IBM docs. MQ explorer is a free tool from IBM that you can download.
2. .bindings file is a concept of IBM Websphere MQ, check with your MQ Admin, e.g., http://ibmstreams.github.io/streamsx.documentation//docs/4.2/messaging/mq-create-objects-bindings-sample/
To be clear, the whole procedure is independent of Pega product.

Thank you Abhinav.
We can able to configure
Thank you Abhinav.
We can able to configure the following modification in the Tomcat application server by modifying the context.xml and web.xml. But Tomcat does not support JMS connection pooling mechanisms, which creates numerous connection when the traffic is high. Can we implement the connection pooling on Tomcat to make the performance better when there are too many messages in the queue.
