Before you start:
You must have completed the following
tasks:
Adding a broker to the broker topology creates a reference to
the broker in the configuration repository; it does not create the physical
broker. When you add a broker, be sure to use the same name that you used
to create the broker.
To add a broker to a broker domain:
- Switch to the Broker
Administration perspective.
- Right-click in the Domains view, and click .
- In the Create a Broker wizard:
- Select the broker domain to which you want to add the broker. If the selected broker domain is not connected, you are prompted to
connect to the domain. Click OK.
- Enter the name of the broker.
- Enter the name of the WebSphere MQ queue
manager that the broker uses.
Note: You can associate a WebSphere MQ queue
manager with only one broker, even if the brokers are in different broker
domains.
- Click Next.
- Optional: Enter a short or long description for the broker.
- Click Finish to
add the broker to the broker domain.
- You are prompted to deploy the updated topology configuration.
Click Delta to perform
a delta topology deploy, and save the changes to the Configuration Manager.
If user preferences are not set to prompt, the topology
deploy is automatic.
A BIP08921 information
message is displayed to show that the request was received by the Configuration Manager.
Verify the results of the deployment by opening the Event Log.
In the Domains view, the broker is added to the broker domain and
a default execution group is added to the broker.
Note: Adding a broker
to the broker topology creates security ACL groups, which give the user ID
full control of the broker and its default execution group. These ACL groups
exist until this broker is removed from the broker domain. This means that
the user ID can be removed from the mqbr* groups,
but the user still has the full control access level for the broker and its
default execution group.
Now that you have added the broker to the broker domain, you can
add further execution groups, create, modify, or reuse message flows and message
sets, and deploy these to the broker.
