Adding multiple instances of a message flow to a broker archive

You can edit the name of your files in the broker archive (bar) file so that you can deploy multiple instances of a message flow with different values for the configurable properties. The names assigned in the bar file are also used on the command line; for example, if you run mqsilist on your execution group or if you run mqsichangetrace for a message flow.

Before you start:

Add the file to the broker archive. See Adding files to a broker archive.

To deploy multiple instances of the flow with different values for the configurable properties:
  1. Rename the message flow file (.cmf) in the bar editor.
  2. Add the message flow to the bar file again. It is added to the bar file with the original name.
  3. Click the Configure tab. You can now edit the configurable properties for both message flows.
Next:

Deploy the bar file. Both message flows are deployed to the execution group and use the values for the configurable properties that you set in the bar file.
