Registry changes caused by installation and configuration

When you install WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker, the install program creates a number of entries in a registry. Further changes are made by some configuration updates (for example, when you create a broker).

On Windows, the system registry is used; on UNIX systems, equivalent values are stored within the install directory structure. Do not alter or remove these entries unless instructed to do so by IBM Service.

The table below describes the main Windows registry entries. These are created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\WebSphereMQIntegrator.

Location Entry Description
  InstallDir The home directory of the installation
\2 FilePath Default: C:Program Files/IBM/WebSphere Business Integration Message Brokers
\2 ProgramFolder Default: IBM WebSphere Business Integration Message Brokers
\2 WorkPath Default: C:Program Files/IBM/WebSphere Business Integration Message Brokers
\Components   Contents depend on components installed and configuration created
\CurrentVersion MQSeriesIntegratorVersion 5
\CurrentVersion MQSeriesIntegratorRelease Contents depend on service installed
\CurrentVersion MQSeriesIntegratorUpdate Contents depend on service installed
\CurrentVersion\PID   Contents depend on product installed

Entries are also created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI for the installed database drivers for Oracle and Sybase, which contain driver locations and parameters, and an entry is added under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\BIPv500 for Event Log information.
