Naming conventions for WebSphere Message Broker for z/OS
Decide upon a naming convention for your WebSphere® Message Broker for z/OS® broker to make customizing, operating, and administering easier.
Each broker requires its own queue manager. Base your
broker name on the queue manager name. For example, append BRK to
the queue manager name of MQP1, to give MQP1BRK.
This naming convention has the following advantages:
- It is easy to associate the broker with the queue manager, because they both begin with the same characters.
- The started task name has the same name as the broker.
Using this convention, you might have the following broker
name MQP1BRK for a queue manager MQP1:
- A started task name of MQP1BRK.
- A started task user ID of MQP1BRK.
- A PDSE containing definitions called hlq.MQP1BRK.xxx.
- A UNIX System Services directory structure like /xxx/yyy/MQP1BRK.
Plan for expansion by selecting names that allow growth.
If your broker name is in uppercase, ensure that the broker name is also in uppercase in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
