The Channel allows you to specify the MQ Channel that you wish to use. The Port configuration item allows you to change the default port that you will use to connect to the WebSphere MQ system. The default is 1,414. For more details on how any of these configuration items should be populated, please consult your Web Sphere MQ documentation.

On the Advanced tab, the Poll Attribute for Correlation ID configuration item allows you to specify the Correlation ID for a particular WebSphere MQ message by populating a transaction attribute. The Message Type configuration item allows you to specify the type of message that you’re going to be putting on the queue. The Message Tokenizer configuration item allows you to specify a tokenizer or a delimiter that you’ll use to split the inbound message into discrete messages to be placed on the queue.
