When you install WebSphere® Message Broker, the installation program creates a number of entries in a registry. Further changes are made by some configuration updates (for example, when you create a broker).
On Windows®, the system registry is used; on Linux® and UNIX® systems, equivalent values are stored within the installation directory structure; the environment variable $MQSI_REGISTRY is set to point to the location. Do not alter or remove these entries unless instructed to do so by your IBM Service representative.
The table below describes the main Windows registry entries. These entries are created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\WebSphereMQIntegrator.
Location | Description |
---|---|
component_name | Top level entry for each component that you have installed and configured. |
component_name\CurrentVersion\DataSourceName | Name of database for this component. |
component_name\CurrentVersion\FADLevel | Formats and data version; contents depend on service installed. FADLevel does not necessarily change with each product update. |
component_name\CurrentVersion\QueueManagerName | Name of queue manager for this component. |
Entries are also created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI for the installed database drivers for Oracle and Sybase, which contain driver locations and parameters.
An entry is added under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\WebSphere Broker v*** for Event Log information, where v*** is the current three-digit product version number.
