Overview

This account is used by the Snaps in the JMS Snap Pack.

You can create an account from Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Supported JMS Versions

This Snap Pack is must create JMS accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your Pipelines. You can configure your Slack accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.

Supported JMS Versions

This Snap Pack is tested against ActiveMQ, ApolloMQ, HornetQ,and IBM MQ.

Snap-Account

Configuration

In Manager, you can navigate to the required folder and create an account in it (see Accounts). To create an account for JMS: 

  1. Click Create, then select JMS and the appropriate account type.

    1. JMS Account (For JMS providers, such as ApolloMQ, HornetQ, and so on. For detailed information on configuring each of these account types, see the guidance provided below.)
    2. SQS Account (Specifically for Amazon SQS Service only)
  2. Supply an account label.

  3. Supply the necessary information.

  4. (Optional) Supply additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
  5. Click Apply.

Account Types

SQS Account

Expand
titleAccount Settings

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.

 - Source: Amazon Simple Queue Service

Note
  • For SQS use cases, we recommend you to use the SQS Snap Pack, which is feature-rich and robust.
  • For JMS Snaps using Amazon SQS accounts, SQS is not JMS and only supports queues in synchronous mode with auto-acknowledgment. SQS accounts do not support asynchronous mode, client acknowledgment, or topics. 

If you're using a JMS Snap Pack, CLIENT-ACK, with a SQS account instead of a JMS account, then you must specify a STANDARD SQS queue. It will fail if you specify a FIFO SQS queue.

Compatibility

Snaps in the JMS Snap Pack work with different accounts and protocols per the following table.


Configuring JMS Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag a JMS Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.

Selecting an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

  1. In the Account tab, click the  icon to view the accounts to which you have access, and select the account that you want to use.

  2. Click Save.

Creating an account

  1. In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.

  2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the Account Type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog window associated with the account type is displayed.

  3. Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide information required for each account type, see the following articles:

    Info

    Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.


  4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.

  5. Click Apply to complete configuring the JMS account.


Configuring JMS Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.

Info

Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.

  1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click Image Added > Account JMS, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type is displayed.

  2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section.

    Info

    Avoid updating account credentials while Pipelines using that account are executing. Doing so may lead to unexpected results, including your account getting locked.

titleHow to Configure JMS for Connecting to ActiveMQ via SSL

Configuring JMS for Connecting to Active MQ via SSL

  1. Add Active MQ server's certificate to plex's trust store.

  2. Attach the .bindings file that is created by the Active MQ SME and is provided with the server's certificate.
    The Connection Factory property fetches the value from the .bindings file.

    Note

    Each client has unique .bindings, and the Active MQ SME of the customer creates the .bindings file. 

    An Active MQ SME provides the following JNDI properties:

    • Multiple queueManager hostnames separated by commas, which are resolvable by the Groundplex.
    • The value for JNDI URL property, java.naming.provider.url, which is the path of the folder on the Groundplex where the .bindings file is stored.
      The file must be called .bindings, and the Groundplex user (snap user) must have read permission to access it.


  3. Provide all the necessary JAR files belonging to the Active MQ client, or it might fail to validate.
    Each version of the Active MQ client uses different JRE levels. If the version of Active MQ is 5.15.10, use the 5.15.10 JRE files.

    Include the following JAR files while configuring the account: 

    Panel
    • activemq-all-5.15.10.jar
    • commons-logging-1.2.jar
    • commons-codec-1.9.jar
    • httpclient-4.5.2.jar
    • httpcore-4.4.4.jar
    • xtream-1.4.11.1.jar


  4. Upload these libraries(JAR files) to the Shared project for the JMS account.

  5. Configure the following JVM options, and then start the JCC.

    Note

    Each client has unique .xml, and the Active MQ SME of the customer creates the .xml file. 

    An Active MQ SME provides the following JNDI properties:

    • jcc.jvm_options = -Djavax props-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/broker.ts -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit
    • ACTIVEMQ_SSL_OPTS = -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/broker.ks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password

titleHow to set up JMS for JBoss HornetQ via SSL

Configuring JMS for Connecting to HornetQ via SSL

  1. Import HornetQ server's certificate to plex's trust store by using the following command:

    -import -file ~/client.cer -keystore broker.ts1 -storepass

  2. Attach the hornetq-configuration.xml file that is created by the HornetQ SME and is provided with the server's certificate.

  3. Edit the hornetq-configuration.xml file that you imported from the server.

    1. Edit connectors.

      Paste code macro
      <connector name="netty-ssl-connector">
              <factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory</factory-class>
              <param key="host" value="192.168.30.131" />
              <param key="port" value="5500" />                      
              <param key="ssl-enabled" value="true" />
              <param key="key-store-path" value="/home/test/artifacts/Apps/hornetq-2.4.0.Final/ssl/broker.ks" />
              <param key="key-store-password" value="hornetqexample" />
           </connector>



    2. Edit acceptors.

      Paste code macro
      <acceptor name="netty-ssl-acceptor">***
              <factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyAcceptorFactory</factory-class>
              <param key="host" value="192.168.30.131" />
              <param key="port" value="5500" />                      
              <param key="ssl-enabled" value="true" />
              <param key="key-store-path" value="/home/test/artifacts/Apps/hornetq-2.4.0.Final/ssl/broker.ks" />
              <param key="key-store-password" value="hornetqexample" />
              <param key="trust-store-path" value="/home/test/artifacts/Apps/hornetq-2.4.0.Final/ssl/broker.ts1" />
              <param key="trust-store-password" value="hornetqexample" />
           </acceptor>



  4. In the JMS.xml file, add one Connection Factory.

    Paste code macro
    <connection-factory name="NettySslConnectionFactory">***
         <xa>false</xa>
         <connectors>
            <connector-ref connector-name="netty-ssl-connector"/>***

            <entry name="/ConnectionFactorySsl"/>
         </entries>
      </connection-factory>


    The Connection Factory property fetches the value from the JMS.xml file.

    Note

    Each client has unique .xml, and the HornetQ SME of the customer creates the .xml file. 

    A HornetQ SME provides the following JNDI properties:

    • jcc.jvm_options = -Djavax props
    • Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64/jre/lib/security/cacerts -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit


  5. Optionally, create a simple pipeline with a File Reader Snap to verify that you can access the .xml file.

  6. Provide all the necessary JAR files belonging to the HornetQ client, or it might fail to validate.

    Each version of the HornetQ client uses different JRE levels. If the version of HornetQ is 1.8, use the 1.8 JRE files.

    The typical list of JAR files associated with HornetQ are as follows. These files are available once you install HornetQ on your server. You need to navigate to the directory where you installed HornetQ and upload these files to SLDB:
