Changing the function level of your integration nodes

You can change the function level of your integration nodes to enable the use of functionality that is supplied in the latest fix pack.

About this task

When a new fix pack is installed, it might include new functionality or message flow nodes that you can add to your message flows to provide or enable specific capabilities.

Message flow nodes that are added in later fix packs are available in the IBM® Integration Toolkit, and you can include these nodes in a message flow. You can deploy the message flow to an integration node only if you set the function level of that integration node to the value that represents the fix pack in which the message flow nodes are included.

Because you can control the function level of each integration node, you can try out new capabilities on test integration nodes without affecting the operation of your production integration nodes. When you are satisfied that the capabilities provide the function that you require, and work as you expect, you can set the function level of other integration nodes in your domain, when appropriate.

To identify the function level of an integration node, use the mqsireportbroker command and check the value of Fixpack capability level.

To change the function level of an integration node, use the mqsichangebroker command, specifying the -f flag with the appropriate value; for example:
mqsichangebroker IBNODE -f 10.0.0.2
or
mqsichangebroker IBNODE -f all
where IBNODE is the name of the integration node where you want to use new function.

For more information about message flow nodes added in fix packs, and the use of the mqsichangebroker command, see mqsichangebroker command.
