1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the Administration Console, expand Services > Messaging and select JMS Modules.
3. In the JMS Modules table, click the name of JMS module in which to configure the queue resource.
4. On the module's Settings page, click the New button in the Summary of Resources table.
5. On the Create a New JMS System Module Resource page, use the Type drop-down to select Distributed Queue.
6. Click Next.
7. On the Distributed Queue Properties page:
   1. In Name, enter a name for the weighted distributed queue.
   2. In JNDI Name, enter the JNDI name used to look up the weighted distributed queue within the JNDI namespace. Applications use the JNDI Name to look up the distributed queue.

      Note: A distributed queue that does not have a JNDI Name can be referenced by passing the Name of the distributed queue to javax.jms.QueueSession.createQueue().

   3. In Load Balancing Policy, specify a policy (Round Robin or Random) for how messages are distributed to the members of this weighted distributed queue.
   4. Clear the Allocate Members Uniformly check box to specify that you want manually allocate the members of this weighted distributed queue.

      Note: Once you create a weighted distributed queue, you cannot rename it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the new name.

8. Click Next.
9. On the member allocation page, select the existing queues that you want to add as members of this weighted distributed queue by moving them from the Available column into the Chosen column.
10. Click Finish.

    The new weighted distributed queue is added to the module's Summary of Resources table.
