JMS to Pub/Sub template

The JMS to Pub/Sub template is a streaming pipeline that reads messages from Active MQ JMS Server (Queue/Topic) and writes them to Pub/Sub.

Pipeline Requirements

  • The Pub/Sub output topic name must exist.
  • The JMS host IP must exist and have the proper network configuration for Dataflow worker VMs to reach the JMS host.
  • The JMS topic/queue that data is extracted from must have a name.

Template parameters

jmsServer The JMS (ActiveMQ) Server IP. For example, tcp://10.0.0.1:61616.
inputName The name of the JMS topic/queue that data is read from.
inputType The JMS destination type to read data from , can be queue or topic.
outputTopic The name of the topic to which data should published, in the format projects/your-project-id/topics/your-topic-name.

Run the template

Console

  1. Go to the Dataflow Create job from template page.
  2. Go to Create job from template
  3. In the Job name field, enter a unique job name.
  4. Optional: For Regional endpoint, select a value from the drop-down menu. The default region is us-central1.

    For a list of regions where you can run a Dataflow job, see Dataflow locations.

  5. From the Dataflow template drop-down menu, select JMS to Pub/Sub template.
  6. In the provided parameter fields, enter your parameter values.
  7. Click Run job.

gcloud

In your shell or terminal, run the template:

gcloud dataflow flex-template run JOB_NAME \
    --project=YOUR_PROJECT_ID \
    --region=REGION_NAME \
    --template-file-gcs-location=gs://dataflow-templates-REGION_NAME/VERSION/flex/JMS_to_Cloud_PubSub \
    --parameters \
jmsServer=JMS_SERVER,\
inputName=INPUT_NAME,\
inputType=INPUT_TYPE,\
outputTopic=OUTPUT_TOPIC,\
username=USERNAME,\
password=PASSWORD
  

You must replace the following values in this example:

  • Replace YOUR_PROJECT_ID with your project ID.
  • Replace with Dataflow region name. For example: us-central1.
  • Replace JOB_NAME with a job name of your choice. The job name must match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]{0,38}[a-z0-9])? to be valid.
  • Replace JMS_SERVER with the JMS server addresses. For example: tcp://10.0.0.0:61616
  • Replace INPUT_NAME with the name of the JMS server input topic/queue. For example: testtopic.
  • Replace INPUT_TYPE with the JMS server Destination Type(queue/topic). For example: topic
