Registry changes caused by installation and configuration

When you install WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker, the installation 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 Linux and UNIX systems, equivalent values are stored within the installation directory structure. Do not alter or remove these entries unless instructed to do so by IBM Service.
