2.1.4 Private Format Names

  • Article

Private format names are used to reference private queues. When a private format name is used, Message Queuing uses its internal routing algorithm to define the route to the destination queue.

When Message Queuing detects a private format name, it does not refer to the directory service for information about the queue. However, it does use the directory service to look up information about the computer for routing purposes.

Private format names contain the string "PRIVATE=" followed by the identifier of the computer where the queue is registered and a hexadecimal number that identifies the queue.

A private format name MUST conform to the following format in ABNF notation.

 PrivateName  = "PRIVATE=" ComputerGuid "\" 1*8HEXDIG [";JOURNAL"]
  
 ComputerGuid = Guid
 

Where:

<Guid> is a GUID, as specified in section 2.1.3.
