Deleting a WebSphere MQ link

This topic describes how to delete a WebSphere® MQ link from a messaging engine on a service integration bus.

Before you begin

Note: Before you delete a WebSphere MQ link, first delete any broker profiles on the WebSphere MQ link to ensure no subscriptions remain: Deleting a publish/subscribe broker profile.
Before you start you need to:
  • Know the name of the WebSphere MQ link that you intend to delete.
  • Ensure that no application is putting messages to the foreign bus serviced by the link.
  • Check that there are no indoubt messages on the link. If an attempt is made to delete a WebSphere MQ link while there are persistent messages on the service integration bus associated with a sender channel, the messages are moved to an exception destination.
  • Consider informing the WebSphere MQ administrator that the WebSphere MQ link is about to be deleted and therefore no longer paired with its WebSphere MQ gateway queue manager or message broker in the WebSphere MQ network.

About this task
