A naming convention for WebSphere Message Broker resources
throughout your network ensures that names are unique, and that users creating
new resources can be confident of not introducing duplication or confusion.
The
resources you must create and name within an
WebSphere Message Broker network
are:
- Configuration
Managers
- When you create a Configuration
Manager, give it a
name that is unique on your system. Names must be unique between Configuration
Managers
and between Configuration
Managers and brokers. Configuration
Manager names
are case sensitive on UNIX systems.
- Brokers
- When you create a broker, give it a name that is unique within your broker
domain. You must use the same name for that broker when you create it on the
system in which it is installed (using the command mqsicreatebroker)
and when you create a reference to that broker in the broker domain topology
in the workbench. The latter is a representation
of the physical broker (created by mqsicreatebroker)
in the configuration repository, and this single name links the two. Broker
names are case-sensitive except on Windows platforms.
- Execution groups
- Each execution group name must be unique within a broker.
- Message flows and message processing nodes
- Each message processing node must be unique within the message flow it
is assigned to. For example, if you include two MQOutput nodes in a single
message flow, provide a unique name for each.
Message flow names must
be unique within the broker domain. Any reference to that name within the
broker domain is always to the same message flow. You can assign the same
message flow to many brokers.
- Message sets and messages
- Each message name must be unique within the message set to which it belongs.
Message set names must be unique within the broker domain. Any reference
to that name within the broker domain is always to the same message set. You
can therefore assign the same message set to many brokers.
The User Name Server is not allocated a name when you create
it. It is identified only by the name of the WebSphere
MQ queue
manager that hosts the services it provides.
