Creating a broker on Solaris

To create a broker:

  1. Log on using your service user ID. If you use the su command to switch user you must ensure that you invoke that user's profile.
    1. Enter su - <user ID> to run a different user's profile.
  2. Run '. <install_dir>/bin/mqsiprofile' to source the mqsiprofile script and set up the environment for a single targeted runtime. You must do this before you can run any of the WebSphere Message Broker commands.
  3. Ensure the broker database instance profile has been run. Invoke the SQL profile that was created when the broker database was created.
  4. Enter the following command to create the broker: If you are using different names or values for any parameter on this command, you must replace the appropriate values with your own.
    mqsicreatebroker WBRK_BROKER -i wbrkuid -a wbrkpw
    -q WBRK_QM -n WBRKBKDB -u dbuid -p dbpw
    where:
    • WBRK_BROKER is the broker name.
    • wbrkuid is the service user ID that is used to run the broker.
    • wbrkpw is the password for the service user ID.
    • WBRK_QM is the name of the WebSphere MQ queue manager that the broker will use. This queue manager is created if it does not exist.
    • WBRKBKDB is the name of the existing broker database, the broker tables will be created within this database.
    • dbuid is the user ID that has read, write and create access permissions for the database. This is the user ID that will be used to read and update the broker's persistent store.
    • dbpw is the password that is associated with the database user ID, dbuid.
On completion of this task, you have:
Now that you have created a physical broker, you are ready to:
  1. Create and start the WebSphere MQ queue manager channels that are required to connect WebSphere Message Broker components (brokers, User Name Servers and Configuration Manager). This allows components in your broker domain, that are supported by different queue managers, to exchange messages and communicate effectively. Refer to Connecting components
  2. Add the broker to the broker domain.
