Configuring brokers
Create and configure the brokers that you want on the operating system of your choice.
- Your user ID has the correct authorizations to perform the task. The authorizations are defined in Security requirements for administrative tasks.
On Windows: you have created a user ID to be used as the service user ID. You specify this ID when you create the broker; it is used to run the broker.
For more information about user ID authorization and creation, refer to Planning for security when you install WebSphere Message Broker.
- You have initialized the command environment on distributed systems; see Setting up a command environment.
To set up a default configuration, or an environment for application development on Linux on x86 or Windows, see Configuring brokers for development environments. If you are creating brokers for test and production environments, use the tasks included in this section.
When you have created your physical components, you can administer your test and production environments either by using the WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer, or programmatically by using the Message Broker API (the CMP API).
This collection of tasks uses specific resource names and user IDs. These names are examples only; you can use your own names. Follow existing naming conventions for WebSphere MQ and other resources.
Next: Continue your broker configuration tasks in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. For day to day administration of your brokers and associated resources, see Administering brokers and broker resources.
