Configure an integration node to run as a WebSphere® MQ trusted application.
You can configure an integration node to run as a trusted (fastpath) application on all supported platforms except z/OS®, where the option is not applicable. If the integration node is configured as a trusted application, it runs in the same process as the WebSphere MQ queue manager agent, and all integration node processes benefit from an improvement in the overall system performance.
An integration node does not run as a trusted application by default; you either create a trusted application by using the mqsicreatebroker command, or modify an existing integration node by using the mqsichangebroker command.
Configuring an
integration node as a trusted application does not affect the
operation of WebSphere MQ channel agents
or listeners. For more information about running these as trusted
applications, see Running channels and listeners as trusted
applications in
the
WebSphere MQ Version 7.5 product documentation online.
Take care when deploying user-defined message flow nodes or parsers. Because a trusted application (the integration node) runs in the same operating system process as the queue manager, a user-defined message flow node or parser might compromise the integrity of the queue manager. Consider fully the restrictions that apply to your environment and test user-defined nodes and parsers in a non-trusted environment before deploying them in a trusted integration node.
You can either configure an integration node to run as a trusted application when you create it, or modify an existing integration node.
