WebSphere Message Broker Advanced pattern

WebSphere® Message Broker Advanced pattern provides many configuration options to tune the WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker products. Example uses for the Advanced pattern are for production environments.

Dependent on operating system, the Advanced pattern contains a part with the following components installed:

Linux
  • WebSphere MQ
  • WebSphere MQ Explorer
  • WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
  • WebSphere Message Broker
  • WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
AIX®
  • WebSphere MQ
  • WebSphere Message Broker
The following tables describe the properties for the WebSphere Message Broker - Advanced part.
Note: The value null is a special string used to denote a valid empty value.
Table 1. Linux and AIX common properties
Field Default value Description
Number of CPUs 1 The number of processors to expose within the image.
Image memory size (MB) 2048 The memory size of the image in megabytes.
Password (root)   The password for the root user ID. This password is for the operating system for the virtual machine represented by this part in the pattern. In the Verify password field, reenter the password.
Password (virtuser)   The virtual user password for the virtuser user ID of the operating system. This user ID is used by the admin user of the WebSphere Message Broker environment. In the Verify password field, reenter the password.
Broker Name MBxBROKER The name of the broker instance, where x indicates the version of WebSphere Message Broker. For example, MB8BROKER is the name created under Version 8.0.
Queue Manager MBxQMGR The name of the queue manager, where x indicates the version of WebSphere Message Broker. For example, MB8QMGR is the name created under Version 8.0.
Queue Manager Description Broker Queue Manager The description of the queue manager.
Queue Manager TCP/IP listener port 2414 The TCP/IP listener port number.
Authorized users null The users from which the WebSphere MQ listener accepts connections. If connecting the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit from a remote machine, the user name under which the toolkit is running needs to be entered here. Multiple user names must be separated by spaces.
Queue Manager Dead Letter Queue SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE The queue manager dead letter queue.
Queue Manager uses linear logging False Determines whether the queue manager uses linear logging. If False is specified, circular logging is used.
Queue Manager log pages 1024 The number of queue manager log pages.
Primary Logs 20 The number of primary WebSphere MQ log files.
Secondary Logs 12 The number of secondary WebSphere MQ log files.
Start HTTP Listener False The broker-wide listener that is used by deployed HTTP nodes is started by default. Use this parameter to change its status between active and inactive.
Enable SSL for HTTPListener False Set this value to True to start the HTTP listener listening for inbound SSL connections.
Thread Pool size for HTTPListener null The maximum number of request processing threads to be created. This value determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled.
HTTP Address null For servers with more than one IP address, this value specifies which address is used for listening on the specified port. By default, this port is used on all IP addresses associated with the server. If specified, only 1 address can be used.
HTTP Port null The TCP port number on which this HTTPConnector creates a server socket and awaits incoming connections.
HTTPS Address null The address to use for HTTPS.
HTTPS Port null The port number to use for HTTPS.
HTTPS Algorithm null The certificate encoding algorithm to be used.
HTTPS Client Auth null Determines whether the SSL stack requires a valid certificate chain from the client before accepting a connection. A False value (which is the default) does not require a certificate chain unless the client requests a resource protected by a security constraint that uses CLIENT-CERT authentication.
HTTPS Keystore File null The path to the keystore file where the server certificate that is to be loaded has been stored. By default, this file is located in the home directory of the user who started the broker and its name has the extension .keystore.
HTTPS Keystore Pass null The password used to access the server certificate from the specified keystore file.
HTTPS Keystore Type null The type of keystore file to be used for the server certificate.
HTTPS SSL Protocol null The SSL protocol version to use.
HTTPS Ciphers null A comma-separated list of the encryption ciphers that can be used. If not specified, any available cipher can be used.
Security Cache Timeout null The timeout value for marking entries in the cache as invalid. The time is specified in seconds.
Table 2. Linux specific properties
Field Default value Description
Enable VNC False Determines whether the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server is enabled for the virtual machine associated with the part in the pattern. Acceptable values are True or False. When enabled, the VNC client accesses the virtual machine using the user ID virtuser. By default, this property is locked. You can change the value only during pattern creation; it cannot be changed during deployment.
Table 3. AIX specific properties
Field Default value Description
Physical Processor Count 0.3 The number of physical processors allocated to this virtual machine (LPAR)
Reserve physical CPUs False Determines if physical CPUs are reserved.

If you load the virtual machine image on the IBM® Hardware Appliances manually instead of using Image Loader utility, the predefined patterns are not available. To create your own pattern, see Creating a WebSphere Message Broker Advanced pattern manually.
