Broker Topology editor

Managing brokers and collectives using the Broker Topology editor

The Broker Topology editor is the default editor that is provided by the Broker Administration perspective for managing brokers and collectives, for enabling and configuring a brokers multicast properties, and for saving topology changes to the Configuration Manager in a single step.

The Broker Topology editor is launched in the editor area of the Broker Administration perspective when you double-click Broker Topology in the Domains view.

If you are not connected to a domain, a connection attempt is made before opening the editor. During this attempt, if you click Cancel, the connection that is in progress stops and the domain returns to its initial unconnected state.

When the editor is launched, an overview pane is displayed in the Outline view. The Outline view is stacked on top of the Properties view. Use the Properties tab or the Outline tab to select which of these two views is displayed.

Use the Broker Topology editor to do the following tasks:

When you save topology changes to the Configuration Manager, the topology information in the Domains view on every workbench that is connected to the Configuration Manager is refreshed automatically.

For information about the palette, and how to customize its layout and settings, see Changing the palette layout, Changing the palette settings, and Customizing the palette.

By default, the Broker Topology editor has a background image of a world map. You can change the background image, and modify its scale factor, or choose not to display an image, by following the instructions in Changing Broker Topology editor properties.
