Creating WebSphere Event Broker components on z/OS

This is an overview of how you create WebSphere Event Broker components on z/OS.

Before you start

Before starting this task, you must have installed:
  • WebSphere MQ for z/OS, with the optional JMS feature applied; for example, mounted at /usr/lpp/mqm.
  • WebSphere Event Broker for z/OS, with a broker file system mounted, for example, /usr/lpp/mqsi.
Note: If you want to connect a Message Brokers Toolkit directly to the Configuration Manager on z/OS, you must install the optional WebSphere MQ Client Attach feature.

If you do not have the WebSphere MQ Client Attach feature installed you can connect the Message Brokers Toolkit through an intermediate queue manager.

You should also read through all the sub topics in the Customizing the z/OS environment section, and follow any recommendations within those topics.
  1. Determine the customization information for your environment. The following list of topics contains tables of information that needs to be gathered before you can proceed with creating a broker domain on z/OS. Complete the information that your enterprise requires.
  2. Set up security for the started task user IDs. Start with Setting up z/OS security.
  3. Plan your DB2 requirements; start with DB2 planning on z/OS
  4. Create the broker by carrying out the tasks listed in Creating a broker on z/OS. Start at Creating the broker PDSE.
