Administering a WebSphere MQ link

This topic outlines the administrative tasks that can be performed on the WebSphere® MQ link.

About this task

The WebSphere MQ link enables the exchange point-to-point and publish/subscribe messages with a WebSphere MQ network. Once you have configured the WebSphere MQ link you can perform various administrative actions on the link.

The WebSphere MQ link connects a WebSphere Application Server and a WebSphere MQ network. Because these two systems are working together their functions need to be in step so that each is aware of the status of the other. Administrative actions on the WebSphere MQ link and its functions include:

Procedure

  1. Viewing the status of the WebSphere MQ link and its components (sender and receiver channels, broker profiles and topic mappings). See Viewing the status of a WebSphere MQ link and its components and Viewing the status of subscriptions for a broker profile on a WebSphere MQ link.
  2. Stopping the WebSphere MQ link. When you stop the link, all its functions are stopped too so you should consider the outcome of doing this. For example, stopping a WebSphere MQ link with broker profiles on it could leave a message broker in the WebSphere MQ network with a back log of messages destined for the WebSphere MQ link that is stopped. For details of stopping the WebSphere MQ link see Stopping a WebSphere MQ link, and for details of stopping the WebSphere MQ link sender and receiver channels see Stopping the sender channel on a WebSphere MQ link and Stopping the receiver channel on a WebSphere MQ link.
  3. Modifying individual functions of the WebSphere MQ link, for example, changing a broker profile or its topic mappings. See Modifying topic mappings on a publish/subscribe broker profile.
  4. Deleting individual definitions on the WebSphere MQ link. You can delete definitions, for example, a broker profile definition. In some cases you will be prompted to restart the WebSphere Application Server after your changes. See Deleting a publish/subscribe broker profile and Deleting a topic mapping on a broker profile.
  5. Deleting the WebSphere MQ link. See Deleting a WebSphere MQ link.
