How to: Create a Message Queue

Outbound-calling applications in Speech Server use the Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) to place notification requests for outbound calls that are subsequently picked up by Speech Server to initiate the outbound calls. You can create a message queue on any computer that has the MSMQ service installed. However, for the best performance and to avoid network access problems, you should create the queue on the computer hosting Speech Server and the outbound-calling application that uses it.

To create a message queue

  1. In Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.

  2. Expand Services and Applications, and then expand Message Queuing.

    Note

    A queue can be public or private, depending on the requirements of the notification application. This example creates a private queue.

  3. Right-click Private Queues, and then click New.

  4. Type a name for the private queue, and then click OK.

    Note

    The queue does not require transaction support.
