# Configure SAF imported destinations

Before you begin

- Create SAF remote contexts
- Configure SAF error handling resources

SAF imported destinations are collections of SAF queues and topics that locally represent JMS queues or topics on a remote server instance or cluster. Each collection of imported destinations is associated with a remote SAF context. They can also share the same JNDI prefix, time-to-live default (message expiration time), and SAF error handling policy.

To configure a SAF imported destination:

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, navigate to the SAF imported destinations resource that you want to configure:
   - Navigate to JMS Resources in System Modules
   - Navigate to JMS resources in an application module
3. On the Configuration: General tab, update as necessary:
   1. JNDI Prefix -- Specify a string that will prefix the local JNDI name of a remote destination.
   2. Remote SAF Context -- Select a remote context for the imported destination.
   3. SAF Error Handling -- Select an error handling configuration for the imported destination.
   4. Enable SAF Default Time-to-Live -- Select to override the expiration time set on JMS messages.
   5. SAF Default Time-to-Live -- Specify a SAF Time-To-Live value, in milliseconds, for JMS messages.
   6. Message Unit-of-Order Routing -- Specify the type of routing used to find a SAF agent when using the message Unit-of-Order feature.

   For more information about these fields, see Configuration Options.

4. If you skipped the targeting step when you created SAF imported destinations resource, or want to change a SAF imported destination's selected subdeployment, you can do so at anytime. See Specify subdeployments for SAF imported destinations.
5. Save your changes:
   - Save Changes to JMS Resources in System Modules
   - Save changes to JMS resources in an application module
6. 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).

After you finish

You can also configure the SAF queues and SAF topics for your imported destinations group. For more information, see:
