Broker Archive editor

The Broker Archive editor is the component you use to edit and save bar files. Using this editor, you can configure system object names contained within a bar file without recompiling a message flow. You can also use command line tools to create bar files.

The Broker Archive editor is available in the Broker Application Development perspective and has two sections; one that allows you to add or remove message flows and message sets to or from your broker archive, and one that lists the configurable properties within your bar file, and allows you to update them.

The Broker Archive editor allows you to add only message flows that are syntactically complete, that is, it does not allow you to add any flows that do not contain an input node, or that contain errors such as mandatory properties not set correctly.

Broker Archive editor views

The Broker Archive editor includes these views:

Content view
The Content view displays the files that are currently in the broker archive file.
Configure view
The Configure view displays the configurable properties of your broker archive file deployment descriptor. To edit a property, replace the current value with a new value.

Broker Archive editor toolbar

The icons in the toolbar and their actions are shown in the table below.

Remove

A column in the bar editor called Version displays the version tag for all objects that have a defined version. These are:
  • .dictionary files
  • .cmf files
  • Embedded JAR files with a version defined in a META-INF/keywords.txt file

You cannot edit the Version column.

You can use the mqsireadbar command to list the keywords defined for each deployable file within a deployable archive file.
