2. Select the default provider for which you want to configure an activation specification.
3. Optional: Change the Scope check box to the scope level at which the activation specification is to be visible to applications, according to your needs.
4. In the content pane, under the Additional properties heading, click Activation specifications. This lists any existing JMS activation specifications for the default messaging provider in the content pane.
