Connecting a broker to a collective

You can connect a broker to a collective by either using the Message Brokers Toolkit or by using the Configuration Manager Proxy Java API. This topic describes how to use the Message Brokers Toolkit. For information about how to use the Configuration Manager Proxy (CMP), see Developing applications using the CMP and Class com.ibm.broker.config.proxy.CollectiveProxy.

To connect a broker to a collective:

  1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
  2. In the Domains view, expand the appropriate broker domain.
  3. Double click the Topology item to open the Broker Topology editor.
  4. In the Broker Topology editor, click on Connection tool.
  5. Click the broker to be connected and then click the collective that you want to connect the broker to.

    The connection is added locally, but the connection is only effective after you have saved, or closed the editor.
