About this task
You can create a configurable service on your integration
node, by using the web user interface or commands. You must provide
a name for your configurable service that does not duplicate the
name of an existing configurable service or IBM® predefined configurable service template.
To
create a configurable service by using the command line or a script,
use the
mqsicreateconfigurableservice command
and include the following parameters:
- Specify -c to identify the configurable service
type.
- Specify -o to identify the name of the configurable
service.
- Specify -n to identify the properties of
the service where you want to override default values.
- Specify -v to identify the values of the
properties that you want to configure.
For example, to create an ActivityLog configurable service that
is named MyActivityLog on an integration node that is named IBNODE,
and change the number of log files from 4 (default) to 5, type
the following command:
mqsicreateconfigurableservice IBNODE -c ActivityLog -o MyActivityLog -n numberOfLogs -v 5
To
add a new configurable service by using the web user interface, complete
the following steps.
Note: Not all configurable service types
are available to select within the web user interface. If you
want to create a configurable service and the type is not listed,
you must create an instance of that type of configurable service
by using the mqsicreateconfigurableservice command.
Results
The configurable service that you created is listed in the
navigator and categorized by the configurable service type.
Note: By
default, the list of configurable services includes the IBM predefined configurable service
templates. You can hide the IBM predefined
templates by clicking the Filter Options link
at the top of the navigator, and then deselecting the Show
IBM predefined templates check box.
What to do next
For most types of configurable service, your changes
will take effect from the next time a message flow that uses the
configurable service is called. For some types of configurable
service (where it is stated in the documentation for the configurable
service type) you must stop and start the integration server for
the change to take effect.
