2.1.7 Multiple-Element Format Names

  • Article

A multiple-element format name is formed as a concatenation of one or more public (section 2.1.3), private (section 2.1.4), direct (section 2.1.2), distribution list (section 2.1.5), connector (section 2.1.6), or multicast (section 2.1.6) format names, separated by commas. Thus, different kinds of format names used in Message Queuing can be used together as elements of a multiple-element format name.

The following example shows a multiple-element format name that contains a direct format name, a public format name, and a distribution list format name.

 DIRECT=ComputerAddress\QueueName,PUBLIC=QueueGUID,DL=DL_GUID 
 

Note A multiple-element format name containing an element that is a public, private, or distribution list format name cannot be used when there is no access to Active Directory.

Multiple-element format names cannot contain the format names of read-only queues, such as queue journals, computer journals, or dead-letter queues. An error is returned if the format name of a read-only queue is included in the multiple-element format name.

The name MUST conform to the following format in ABNF notation. 

  
  
 MultipleElementName = FormatName *("," FormatName)
  
 FormatName = DirectName / PublicName / PrivateName / 
              DistributionListName / Connector / 
              Multicast
