Verifying your installation using the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer

Use the instructions in this tutorial to verify your installation of WebSphere® Message Broker and learn how to deploy broker archive files with the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.

You must have installed the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer to run this tutorial. If you are using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit you can verify your installation using one of the samples. For a list of samples, see Samples.
To verify your installation using the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer you can complete the following tasks:
  • Create a Default Configuration
  • Deploy a broker archive file
  • Check the results of a deployment
  • Test the message flow
Use the following instructions to complete these tasks:
  1. To use the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer you must start the WebSphere MQ Explorer. To start the WebSphere MQ Explorer, complete one of the following steps:
    • On Windows:

      Click Start > All Programs > IBM WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.0.0 > IBM WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, or open a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not been run and enter the strmqcfg command.

    • On Linux:

      Enter the strmqcfg command on a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not been run, or run /usr/bin/strmqcfg.

  2. Create the Default Configuration:
    • Start the Create the Default Configuration wizard using the following link:

      Start the Default Configuration wizard

      You can use this link only when you use the information center that is integrated with the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit or the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.

    • Alternatively, you can use the following instructions to start the Create the Default Configuration wizard:
      1. In the WebSphere MQ Explorer - Navigator view, click the Brokers folder.
      2. In the WebSphere MQ Explorer - Content view, click the Create the Default Configuration button. The Create the Default Configuration wizard is displayed.
    1. You can click Cancel at any time to cancel the creation of the default configuration.
    2. The Default Configuration Summary page lists the resources created. Click Next to continue.
    3. Click Finish.
    The default broker is created and started. The broker is also added to the WebSphere MQ Explorer - Navigator view.
  3. Deploy the broker archive file to the broker:
    1. Expand the Broker Archive Files folder.
    2. Expand the Getting Started folder.
    3. Right-click the pager.bar file, and click Deploy File.
    4. Select the MB8BROKER broker, and click Finish. The broker archive file is deployed to the broker.
      If you do not have a Getting Started folder, you can import the pager.bar file from the installation directory of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
      1. Ensure that you have a folder under the Broker Archive Files (or Bar Files) folder to import into.
      2. Right-click the folder, and select Import Bar Files.
      3. Browse to the com.ibm.etools.wmadmin.welcome plugin directory within the installation directory.
        • Windows platformOn Windows this is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\IBExplorer\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.etools.wmadmin.welcome_<version>.
        • Linux platformOn Linux this is typically /opt/IBM/IBExplorer/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.etools.wmadmin.welcome_<version>
      4. Select the pager.bar file and click Finish.

    1. In the WebSphere MQ Explorer - Navigator view, expand the Brokers folder.
    2. Click MB8BROKER to select the broker.
    3. View messages from the broker in the Administration Log view. If the deployment was successful, message BIP2881I is displayed in the Administration Log view. You can also see the TextMessenger message flow and the PagerMessageSets message set deployed to the Default execution group under the MB8BROKER broker.
  5. Test the message flow:
    1. In the WebSphere MQ Explorer - Navigator view, expand MB8QMGR in the Queue Managers folder.
    2. Right-click the Queues folder, and click New > Local Queue.
    3. Enter TEXTMESSENGER as the name for the queue, and click Finish. This queue is the input queue for the Pager message flow.
    4. Click OK.
    5. Right-click the Queues folder, and click New > Local Queue.
    6. Enter TEXTMESSENGER_FAIL as the name for the queue, and click Finish. This queue is the failure queue for the Pager message flow.

    12. Enter the following message in the message data field, and click Put message to put the test message to the input queue for the Pager message flow:
      <Pager><text>This is my message to the pager.</text></Pager>
      The test message is passed through the message flow, transformed, and the output message is put to the Pager queue.
    13. Click Close to close the Put test message dialog.
    14. Right-click the Pager queue, and click Browse Messages. The Message browser dialog opens and displays any messages on the queue. If the test is successful, the queue shows a message like the following:

      <!--MRM Generated XML Output on :Sat Jun 20 10:38:56 2009-->
      <Pager><Text> Powered by IBM.</Text></Pager>
  6. Click Close to close the Message browser dialog.
