Table 9 summarizes the differences between static, dynamic, and temporary destinations. The sections that follow provide more detail.
Separating the subject name into elements allows applications to use wildcards for specifying more than one subject. See Wildcards for more information. The use of wildcards in destination names can also be used to define
"parent" and
"child" destination relationships, where the child destinations inherit the properties from its parents. See
Inheritance of Properties.
When you use the show queues or
show topics command in the administration tool, you see dynamic topics and queues have an asterisk (
*) in front of their name in the list of topics or queues. If a property of a queue or topic has an asterisk (
*) character in front of its name, it means that the property was inherited from the parent queue or topic and cannot be changed.
See Dynamically Creating Topics and Queues for details on topics and queues can be dynamically created by the EMS server.
