| **Destination type** | <p>Select <strong>Topic</strong> or <strong>Queue</strong> from the list to specify the delivery model you want to use. - <strong>Topic</strong></p><p>Uses a publish and subscribe delivery model such that one message can be delivered to multiple consumers. Messages are delivered to the topic destination and ultimately to all active consumers who are subscribers of the topic.</p><ul><li><strong>Queue</strong></li></ul><p>Uses a point-to-point delivery model. In this model, a message is delivered from a single producer to a single consumer. The messages are delivered to the destination, which is a queue, and then delivered to one of the consumers registered for the queue.</p> |
| **Destination name** | Specify the name of the topic or queue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/10.2-data-integration/pdi-transformation-steps-reference-overview/jms-consumer/options-jms-consumer/setup-tab-jms-consumer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
