Adding an execution group to a broker in the workbench

Use the workbench to add execution groups to a broker.

Before you start:

When you create a broker, it has a default execution group. If you want additional execution groups, you must create them explicitly.

You can use one of three methods to complete this task:

This task describes the first method. If you prefer, you can create an execution group using the command line; see Adding an execution group to a broker using the command line. For information about the CMP API, see Developing applications that use the Configuration Manager Proxy Java API.

To add an execution group to a broker:

  1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
  2. In the Domains view, expand the default configuration manager.
  3. Right-click Broker Topology, and click New > Execution Group.
  4. In the Create an Execution Group wizard:
    1. Select the broker to which you want to add the execution group.

      If the selected broker domain is not connected, a Confirm Connection dialog box prompts you to connect to the domain. If you click OK, the domain is connected and populated with the defined brokers. If you click Cancel at this prompt, the wizard remains open.

    2. Enter the Execution Group name.
    3. Select the Processor Architecture for this execution group to specify if the execution group process runs as a 32-bit or 64-bit application. Start of changeChoose one of the following three options:
      • Default. The execution group is created to run in 64-bit mode for systems that support only 64-bit mode, and 32-bit mode for all other systems (32-bit mode only or both modes).
      • 32 bit. The execution group is created to run in 32-bit mode.
      • 64 bit. The execution group is created to run in 64-bit mode.

      Do not set a processor architecture that is not supported on the target broker computer. For details of the support on each operating system, see Support for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

      If you create a 64-bit execution group, the broker's queue manager must also operate in 64-bit mode. All WebSphere MQ Version 6 queue managers on 64-bit platforms run in 64-bit mode; all WebSphere MQ Version 5.3 queue managers and all WebSphere MQ Version 6 queue managers on 32-bit platforms run in 32-bit mode.

      To change the default value for this option, which is initially set to Default, click Window > Preferences > Broker Administration and update the setting for Execution Group Platform Processor Architecture.

      End of change
  5. Click Next.
  6. Optional: Enter a short or long description for the execution group.
  7. Click Finish to add the execution group to the broker.

In the Domains view, the execution group is added to the appropriate broker.
