Starting and stopping message flows

You start and stop message flows from the workbench. You can start and stop:
  • All message flows in all execution groups, assigned to a specific broker.
  • All message flows in a specific execution group.
  • A single message flow.
  1. To start a message flow:
    1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
    2. In the Domains view, expand your broker domain to locate your message flow:
      • To start all message flows in all execution groups for a broker, right-click the broker and click Start Message Flows.
      • To start all message flows in a specific execution group, right click the execution group and click Start Message Flows.
      • To start a single message flow, right-click the message flow and click Start.

    The Configuration Manager sends a message to the broker to start the specified message flows.

    A BIP0892I information message is displayed to show that the Configuration Manager has received the request.

    There might be a short delay for the Configuration Manager to respond.
