The information contained here supports Version 8.0.0.7. This information center is integrated with the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and with the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. It is also available online. Always refer to the WebSphere Message Broker online information center to access the most current information.

Topics that have been added since the previous release of this information, and updated sections within topics, are highlighted with a start of change icon preceding the updated information and an end of change icon following the updated information, as shown in this paragraph.

If you are migrating components and resources from previous versions, see Migrating.

New users: how to find the information you want

The Contents pane on the left lists the categories of task information that are available; for example, Migrating and Developing applications. Each task category also contains explanations of the concepts related to those tasks, such as "Coexistence", "Message flows", and "Publish/subscribe".

The Start here category in the Contents pane contains topics that provide an introduction for new users to getting started, developing applications, broker administration, and troubleshooting tasks in WebSphere Message Broker. Each topic in the Start here category provides overview information and links to relevant topics in the information center. Read the Start here topics and follow the links to help you to navigate through the product documentation and find the information that you want. Alternatively, you can use the following instructions to help you find the information that you want.

Click the top-level topic that you are interested in. If it describes and lists information that covers your area of interest, expand the section to read the associated concepts that give an overview of what you need to understand to perform tasks in this area. Before you start, make sure that you are familiar with the concepts and terminology that are associated with the tasks.

The navigation tree in the Contents pane provides a framework in which you can start to understand the tasks and the context in which you will complete them. Follow the related links at the end of each task to find information about other related tasks. You can move backward and forward to revisit topics, and you can use the Refresh/Show Current Topic button if you have moved to a different area of the table of contents, and you want to check where you are.

Expand the Reference section to find reference information that is relevant to the task area that you are interested in. You can see that the sections within the Reference section largely correspond to the task categories. You will probably have to refer to one or more of these reference topics to complete any particular task.

For more information, see Task, concept, and reference topics. When you are more familiar with what information is available, and where to find it, try using the index and the search facility, which are described later in this topic.

Experienced users: how to find the information you want

If you are familiar with what information is available, and where to find it in this information center, you probably have a specific piece of information in mind. You can navigate through to the information in the Content pane, or you can take a more direct route to find specific information:

Search

Enter your search string in the Search box, then click Go. If your string includes blanks, and you want the whole string treated as one string, enclose it in quotation marks; for example "search string". The search results are presented in the Search Results pane on the left, and you can switch between the Search Results pane and the Content pane, which contains the navigation tree, by clicking the tabs at the bottom of the pane.

You can limit your search to a particular area of the navigation tree, which can make a search much quicker and produce fewer results. To limit the search, click Search scope, then click the New button. Select the area or areas you want to include in your new scope and enter a name for the scope so that you can reuse it another time.

Index
Find the term that you want in the Index. If more than one entry exists for the subject that you looked up, click the one that is most appropriate for your current task.

Use the letter links at the top of the index to link to the sections that start with that letter; use the letter at the start of a section of index entries to link back to the top of the index.

If you are new to this version of WebSphere Message Broker, you might find some of the information in the Start here category in the Contents pane useful. The Start here topics include links to information about navigating the Information Center, using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, migration and coexistence, and troubleshooting WebSphere Message Broker.
