Creating a Configuration Manager on Solaris

The following steps show you how to create a Configuration Manager.

  1. 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 Event Broker commands.
  2. Log on using your user ID. If you use the su command to switch user from root, enter su - <user ID> to run your user profile.
  3. Enter the following command to create the Configuration Manager:
    mqsicreateconfigmgr CMGR01 -i wbrkuid -a wbrkpw -q WBRK_QM   

    If you are using different names or values for any parameter on this command, you must replace the appropriate values with your own.

    In the command above:

    CMGR01
    Is the name of the Configuration Manager that you are creating.
    wbrkuid
    Is the service user ID that is used to run the Configuration Manager.
    wbrkpw
    Is the password for the service user ID.
    WBRK_QM
    Is the name of the WebSphere MQ queue manager that will host the Configuration Manager. This is created if it does not exist.
On completion of this task, you have:
  • Created a Configuration Manager.
  • Created and started a WebSphere MQ queue manager called WBRK_QM.
  • Created and set up the WebSphere MQ resources required by the Configuration Manager, and defined these on the queue manager. This includes the default dead-letter queue (DLQ), which is automatically enabled by running the mqsicreateconfigmgr command.
  • Set up the authorizations that the Configuration Manager requires to access WebSphere MQ resources.
Now that you have created the Configuration Manager, you are ready to:
  1. Create and start the WebSphere MQ queue manager channels that are required to connect WebSphere Event 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. Create a broker domain connection using the workbench. Refer to Creating a domain connection.
