Configuring description properties in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer

Use the WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer to configure the Long Description and Short Description on your brokers, execution groups and deployed message flows. Alternatively, you can use the Message Broker API to configure the Long Description properties.

The Short Description is stored and used by the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit. The Long Description is stored by the broker, and can be viewed within the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer or Message Broker API. You can also use the Long Description to add keywords to your message flows.

To configure the Long Description and Short Description on your brokers, execution groups, or message flows:

  1. In the Navigator view, expand the Brokers folder.
  2. Right-click the object with which you want to work, and click Properties. This object can be a broker, execution group, or message flow. The Properties window is displayed. The Long Description and Short Description are fields on the General tab.
  3. Enter the values for the Long Description, Short Description, or both. If you are working with a message flow, you can add keywords into the Long Description field. When you define a keyword, you must follow certain rules to ensure that the information can be parsed. The following example shows some values that you might want to define in the Long Description property:
    $MQSI Author=John Smith MQSI$
    $MQSI Flow 1 Version=v1.3.2 MQSI$
    Do not use the following characters within keywords, because they cause unpredictable behavior:
    ^ $ . | \ < > ? + * = & [ ] ( )
    You can use these characters in the values that are associated with keywords; for example:
    • $MQSI RCSVER=$id$ MQSI$ is acceptable
    • $MQSI $name=Fred MQSI$ is not acceptable
  4. Click Apply to update the description properties.
  5. Click OK to exit the Properties window.

The description properties for the selected object are now updated, and you can view these properties in the Properties QuickView for the object in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
