Sending data to a custom queue

{{container}}{{container layoutStyle="columns"}}(((

In some cases, there is a need to listen on a 'custom' queue for data. For example, when retrieving large amounts of data, you might need to place parts of the data on the queue to free up memory to process the complete batch of data. For those (and other) situations, it could be helpful to create 'custom' in-between queues. We need an additional writer on that 'custom' queue to ensure that data will be placed on the queue.

This microlearning centers around sending data to a custom queue

14

With a custom queue, we mean: A queue that is manually defined by an eMagiz user instead of eMagiz itself as a result of an automated process

To set up the outbound channel adapter, navigate to the flow in Create in which you want to listen for messages on the 'custom' queue and enter "Start Editing" mode. After doing so, add the JMS outbound channel adapter to the canvas by dragging it on the canvas. Subsequently, double-click on the component to open it so you can edit it.
