Adding multiple instances of a message flow to a broker archive

Add more than one instance of a message flow to a broker archive and use configurable properties to customize each instance.

You can deploy multiple instances of the same message flow with different values for configurable properties. By using the same flow with different configurable property values, you can reuse a flow but customize each instance to your requirements. For example, you could use one flow with a particular value for an output queue, then add a second instance of the same flow and use a configurable property to set a different value for the output queue.

If you want to create multiple instances of a message flow to improve performance, see Optimizing message flow throughput.

To deploy multiple instances of a message flow with different values for the configurable properties, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Broker Development view, create a copy of the message flow of which you want to deploy multiple instances; see Copying a message flow or subflow by using copy.
  2. Add the original message flow and the copy of the message flow to your BAR file; see Adding files to a broker archive.
  3. Open the BAR file. The resources in your broker archive are listed on the Manage page.
  4. On the Manage page, you can now edit the configurable properties for both message flows. For more information, see Editing configurable properties.
Tip: The names that are assigned in the BAR file are also used on the command line; for example, if you run the mqsilist command on the execution group, or if you run the mqsichangetrace command for a message flow.
Next:

Deploy the BAR file by following the instructions in Deploying a broker archive file. Both message flows are deployed to the execution group and use the values for the configurable properties that you set in the BAR file.
