Version 12.x and Later

The Publish feature allows you to send a message to a topic.
Publishing a message sends it to all subscribers that are currently subscribed to that topic or a matching topic string, making it useful for testing topic functionality or distributing messages.

Publish a Message

In the Topics widget, select the topic you want to publish a message to.
From the Selected menu, navigate to:
Commands > Publish.
The Publish Topic dialog opens.

The dialog contains the following fields:

Message Data
Enter the message content you want to publish to the topic. This text will be sent to all subscribers of the selected topic.
Property Name (optional)
Specify a message property name if you want to include custom metadata with your message.
Property Value (optional)
Enter the value corresponding to the property name.

After entering the message details, click Ok to publish the message immediately, or click Schedule to schedule the publish action for a later time.
(See Scheduling Jobs for more information.)

Viewing Published Messages

Before publishing messages to a topic, you must first configure a subscription for that topic.

When creating a subscription:

Select the Topic to which the message will be published.
Under the Destination tab, specify the Queue where the published messages should be delivered. Refer to Create a Subscription for more details.

Once the subscription is set up, you can publish messages to the topic. The published messages will then appear in the Queue widget under the selected destination queue.
