Adding an execution group to a broker using the command line

Before you start:

You must complete the following tasks:

When you create a broker, it has a default execution group. If you want additional execution groups, you must create them explicitly.

For more details about why you might want to create multiple execution groups, see Execution groups.

Instead of employing the Message Brokers Toolkit, you can use this task as an alternative method of creating an execution group .

For more details on creating an execution group from the Message Brokers Toolkit see Adding an execution group to a broker

To add an execution group to a broker using the command line on Windows, UNIX systems, and Linux:

  1. Open a command prompt that has the environment configured for WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0.
  2. Enter the following command to add the execution group:
    mqsicreateexecutiongroup -i host -p 1414 -q QMGR -b BROKER –e EG1
    where
    host
    Is the host name or IP address of the Configuration Manager for the domain on which the broker resides.
    1414
    Is the port on which the Configuration Manager's queue manager is listening.
    QMGR
    Is the name of the Configuration Manager's queue manager.
    BROKER
    Is the name of the broker.
    EG1
    Is the name of the execution group that you want to create.

On completion of this task, you have requested that the Configuration Manager creates an execution group on the broker when it is next deployed.
