Create a Solace Queue and Queue Template

This article will guide you through the process of creating a Solace Queue and Queue Template.

A queue on event broker acts as both, a destination to which clients can publish messages to and an endpoint, to which clients can bind consumers and consume messages from. Queues can subscribe to more than one topic and receive messages for all topics matching their subscriptions. Queues can provide exclusive access to one consumer or access to multiple consumers where each is serviced in a round‑robin fashion. Clients can have permissions to consume, delete, or modify topics in the queue.

Before creating the Solace Queue, you must establish a Solace Manager connection. To learn how, click on Create Remote Solace Manager Connection.

Create a Solace Queue Template

Queue templates are configurable objects that administrators can use to specify custom attributes and parameters for any new client-created queues. When a client creates queues dynamically using an API, the endpoint name can be matched to the template. All custom attributes that are configured in the queue template are copied to the client-created queue.
