OpenText Cordys 10.6 documentation : Configuring JMS and ActiveMQ for Reliable Messaging

Configuring JMS and ActiveMQ for Reliable Messaging
This topic describes the procedure to configure ActiveMQ with a JMS connection point to enable reliable messaging with a Transaction Coordinator.

Before you begin this task:
Ensure that you have done the following:

  • Load Cordys JMSTransport package.
  • Install ActiveMQ.
  • Install Atomikos
  • After installing, set the system classpath accordingly depending upon the operating system.
    • For Windows: Add the following jars to the system variable CLASSPATH.
    • For Linux: Extend the CLASSPATH with the jar files at the location <homedirCordys>\bin\wcpenv.sh.
      • BOP 4.x :
        <Process Platform Home Directory>/ext/jms.jar
        <Process Platform Home Directory>/components/jmstransport/jmstransport.jar
      • ActiveMQ :
        <ActiveMQ Home Directory>/activemq-all-5.6.0.jar
        <ActiveMQ Home Directory>/lib/slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
      • Atomikos and additional :
        <AtomikosHome>/atomikos-util.jar
        <AtomikosHome>/transactions.jar
        <AtomikosHome>/transactions-api.jar
        <AtomikosHome>/transactions-jta.jar
        <AtomikosHome>/slf4j-nop.jar*}}
    • Include the slf4j-nop.jar in the service container classpath. You can download it from http://www.slf4j.org/download.html.
  • Set global configuration.
  1. On CUSP > My Applications, click ( System Resource Manager). The System Resource Manager window appears, displaying the list of all the available Service Containers.
  2. Right-click a Service Container and select Manage Connection Points. The Connection Points dialog box appears, listing the existing connection points.
  3. Click . The Connection Point dialog box appears.
  4. Provide the required information in the Connection Point dialog box as described below:

    Field

    Action

    Name
