Starting and stopping message flows

You can start and stop a message flow by either using the Message Brokers Toolkit or by using the Configuration Manager Proxy Java API. This topic describes how to use the Message Brokers Toolkit. For information about how to use the Configuration Manager Proxy, see Navigating broker domains using the Configuration Manager Proxy.

From the workbench you can start and stop:
  • All message flows in all execution groups, assigned to a specific broker.
  • All message flows in a specific execution group.
  • A single message flow.
  1. To start a message flow:
    1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
    2. In the Domains view, expand your broker domain to locate your message flow:
      • To start all message flows in all execution groups for a broker, right-click the broker and click Start Message Flows.
      • To start all message flows in a specific execution group, right click the execution group and click Start Message Flows.
      • To start a single message flow, right-click the message flow and click Start.

    The Configuration Manager sends a message to the broker to start the specified message flows.

    A BIP0892I information message is displayed to show that the Configuration Manager has received the request.

    Verify the results of the deployment by opening the Event Log.

    There might be a short delay for the Configuration Manager to respond.

    The alert Message Flow is not running is removed from the Alert Viewer.

  2. To stop a message flow:
    1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
    2. In the Domains view, expand your broker domain to locate your message flow:
      • To stop all message flows in all execution groups for a broker, right-click the broker and click Stop Message Flows.
      • To stop all message flows in a specific execution group, right click the execution group and click Stop Message Flows.
      • To stop a single message flow, right-click the message flow, and click Stop.
    3. Open the Event Log for the broker domain. A BIP0892I information message is displayed to show that the Configuration Manager has received the request.

    There might be a short delay for the Configuration Manager to respond.

    The alert Message Flow is not running is added to the Alert Viewer.
