For example, enter maxReconnectAttempts in the Option name field and then 0 in the Option value field so that no attempt is made to retry the connection when no server is available for the failover mode.

For more information about the failover transport options, see Failover Transport Reference.

For more information about the static discovery transport options, see Static Transport Reference.

Acknowledgement Mode

Select an acknowledgement mode from the list to indicate that the client will acknowledge any messages it receives:

Global Variables

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box.

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an integer.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl+Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For more information about variables, see Using contexts and variables.

Usage rule

This component is generally used as a start component. It must be linked to an output component.

Click the [+] button to add a row in the table and fill the Code field with a context variable to choose your MQ Server connection dynamically from multiple connections planned in your Job.

The Dynamic settings table is available only when the Use an existing connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is defined, the Component List box in the Basic settings view becomes unusable.

For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic settings and context variables, see Dynamic schema and Creating a context group and define context variables in it.

Limitation

Make sure the relevant ActiveMQ, JBoss Messaging or Websphere MQ server is launched.

This component requires installation of its related jar files.
