Broker Archive editor

The Broker Archive editor is the component you can use to edit and save bar files. It is the mechanism that you use for configuring system object names contained within a bar file without recompiling a message flow. You can also use command line tools to create bar files.

The Broker Archive editor is available in the Broker Application Development perspective and has two sections; one that allows you to add or remove message flows to or from your broker archive, and one that lists the configurable properties within your bar file, and allows you to update them.

The Broker Archive editor only allows you to add message flows that are syntactically complete, that is, it will not allow you to add any flows that do not contain an Input node, or that contain errors such as mandatory properties not set correctly.
