A queue manager can be a full repository for more than one cluster at the same
time.
About this task
If you want a queue manager to be a full repository for more than one cluster, you must create a
namelist for the queue manager and list the names of the clusters in the namelist. The
Create Cluster wizard does not edit namelists so you must manage multiple
clusters manually in IBM® MQ Explorer.
To make a queue manager a full repository for more than one cluster, complete the following
steps.
Procedure
- Create a new namelist for the queue manager.
- Open the new namelist's Properties dialog and edit the namelist:
- On the General page of the Properties dialog, in the Names field, click Edit. The Edit Names dialog opens.
- Click Add The Add to Names dialog
opens.
- In the Add to Names dialog, type
the name of a cluster for which you want the queue manager to be a
full repository, then click OK.
- Add the name of each cluster for which you want the
queue manager to be a full repository.
- In the Edit Names dialog, click OK to return to the Properties dialog.
- Click OK to apply the changes
and close the Properties dialog.
- Open the queue manager's Properties dialog and specify the namelist:
- On the Repository page of the Properties dialog, click Repository for a list
a clusters, then type the name of the namelist in the
field.
- Click OK to apply the changes
and close the Properties dialog.
Results
The queue manager is added to the Full Repository folder of the clusters that are listed in the namelist. Any of the
clusters that were not previously shown in the Queue Manager
Clusters folder are shown now.
