Connecting to and disconnecting from the broker domain

Before you start:

You must complete the following task:

Use a domain connection to connect to the broker domain in the workbench.

The following steps show you how to connect to the broker domain and how to disconnect from the broker domain.

  1. To connect to the broker domain:
    1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
    2. In the Domains view, right-click the broker domain to which you want to connect, and click Connect. This starts the domain connection to the Configuration Manager.

      When connected, the workbench status line is changed (for example WBRK_QM@localhost:1414 is connected). The Broker Topology and Topics are populated, and the broker domain and broker topology icons change to reflect the connected state.

  2. To disconnect from the broker domain:
    1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
    2. In the Domains view, right click the broker domain from which you want to disconnect, and click Disconnect. The connection to the Configuration Manager is broken.

      When disconnected, the workbench status line is changed (for example WBRK_QM@localhost:1414 is not connected). All brokers and topics are removed from the domains navigator tree, and the broker domain and broker topology icons change to reflect the disconnected state.
