Creating MSMQ transport

It is assumed that the Workbench is started and you have connected to the node that you want to associate the new transport with.

Follow these steps to create an MSMQ transport:

From the Workbench left pane, expand the node that you want to associate the new transport with.
Expand Enterprise, right-click the Transports icon to display its pop-up menu, and then click New.
The Transport window appears.
In the Name box, type a unique name for the transport.
An MSMQ transport name can be up to 64 characters in length and can include letters, numbers, and the underscore character. You will not be able to type invalid characters. For example, spaces are not allowed. You will not be able to insert a space in the name.
Click the Type down arrow, and then click MSMQ.

The Transport window changes to accommodate the definition of an MSMQ transport.

Parameter	Description
Host	This is the host name or IP address of the computer where MSMQ is installed.
User	This is the user ID to access the MSMQ queue. See your MSMQ administrator for this information.
Password	This is the password to access the MSMQ queue. See your MSMQ administrator for this information.
Domain	If the MSMQ queue is defined on a computer that is in a Microsoft Active Directory domain (a managed environment), then specify the Active Directory domain name. If the MSMQ queue is defined on a computer located in an unmanaged environment then specify that computer name. Note that the MSMQ queue must be accessed through a managed domain; otherwise, the value in Domain is ignored.
Path	Specifies the name of MSMQ queue. Private queue — For private queues, the syntax is .\private$ [Queue Name] Public queue — For public queues, the syntax is .\ [Queue Name]
Extended Attributes	Use this button to display the MSMQ Extended Attributes window. For more information, click Setting extended attributes.
Load transport at initialization	Select the Load transport at initialization check box to have the transport connect to the host as soon as the node boots up (or immediately after leaving store and forward).

The following shows a partial view of the completed MSMQ transport.

To test the connection, click Validate. In the case of a MSMQ transport, validation consists of connecting to either the public or private queue environment.

If no errors are received, click Save. The transport is persisted to the node.

The name of the new transport is added to the Transports tab and will be available for use by a transport map.
