Connecting to an IBM MQ Data Source
Overview
ROMA Connect can use IBM MQ as a data source for data integration tasks. Before using the IBM MQ data source, you need to connect it to ROMA Connect.
Prerequisites
Each connected data source must belong to an integration application. Ensure that an integration application is available before connecting a data source, or create one first.
Procedure
- Log in to the ROMA Connect console. On the Instances page, click View Console of an instance.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Data Sources. In the upper right corner of the page, click Access Data Source.
- On the Default tab page, select IBM MQ and click Next.
- Configure the data source connection information.

Password
Enter the password for connecting to IBM MQ.
SSL Authentication
Determine whether to use SSL authentication for the connection between ROMA Connect and IBM MQ.
Cipher Suite
This parameter is mandatory only if SSL Authentication is set to Enable.
Enter the name of the cipher suite used in the queue manager stream specified by Stream Name.
Trust Store
This parameter is mandatory only if SSL Authentication is set to Enable.
Enter the trust store used by the client (ROMA Connect) during SSL authentication. It must match the private key used by the server (IBM MQ).
Trust Store Password
This parameter is mandatory only if SSL Authentication is set to Enable.
Enter the password of the trust store.
The following figure shows an example of data source connection configuration when SSL is enabled. A trust store file needs to be uploaded.

- Click Check Connectivity to check the connectivity between ROMA Connect and the data source.
- If the test result is Data source connected successfully, go to the next step.
- If the test result is Failed to connect to the data source, check the data source status and connection parameters, and click Recheck until the connection is successful.
- Click Create.
