In Xponent Journey Hub, a queue connection is actually a pair of queues acting as a read/write queue pair.

- **Type**: the type of the message queue
  - [Amazon SQS](https://aws.amazon.com/sqs/) - Amazon web services simple queue service
    - Xponent does not currently support the AWS SQS FIFO queue type. The Standard Queue type provides unlimited throughput and offers faster processing as a result.
  - [Active MQ](http://activemq.apache.org/) - Apache Active MQ version 5.9 upwards
  - [Rabbit MQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/) - version 3 upwards
  - [Azure Service Bus](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-bus-messaging/) - Microsoft's cloud messaging service
- **Read Queue**: name of the Read/Listen Queue
  - Amazon SQS - the queue name - not the URL or URN
  - Active MQ - the queue name - e.g. dynamicQueues/Q1
  - Rabbit MQ - the queue name
  - Azure Service Bus- the queue name
- **Write Queue**: name of the Write Queue
  - Amazon SQS - the queue name - not the URL or URN
  - Active MQ - the queue name - e.g. dynamicQueues/Q1
  - Rabbit MQ - the queue name
  - Azure Service Bus- the queue name
- **For Amazon SQS**
  - AWS Access Key Id
  - AWS Secret Access Key
  - AWS Region - one of the AWS regions e.g. us-east-1, eu-west-1

  - Host - IP address or fully qualified domain name of the queue broker
  - SSL - select true if the queue is connected to using secure socket layers
