# Create queuing bridge connections

A Tuxedo queuing bridge provides a bidirectional JMS interface that allows WTC applications to communicate with Tuxedo application environments. To create a Tuxedo queuing bridge:

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 Interoperability and select WTC Servers.
3. On the WTC Servers page, select the name of the WTC server on which you want to create queuing bridge connections.
4. Select Configuration > Queuing Bridge.
5. On the WTC Tuxedo Queuing Bridges page, click New.
6. Modify the Tuxedo queuing bridge connection properties for your environment.

   See Configuration Options.

7. Click OK.
8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
