Broker Archive editor

The Broker Archive editor is the component that you use to edit and save bar files. Using this editor, you can configure system object names contained within a bar file without recompiling a message flow. You can also use command line tools to create bar files.

The Broker Archive editor is available in the Broker Application Development perspective and has two sections; one that allows you to add or remove message flows and message sets to or from your broker archive, and one that lists the configurable properties within your bar file, and allows you to update them.

The Broker Archive editor allows you to add only message flows that are syntactically complete, that is, it does not allow you to add any flows that do not contain an input node, or that contain errors such as mandatory properties that are not set correctly.

Broker Archive editor views

The Broker Archive editor includes these views:

Content view
The Content view displays the files that are currently in the broker archive file.
Configure view
The Configure view displays the configurable properties of your broker archive file deployment descriptor. To edit a property, replace the current value with a new value.
User Log and Service Log views
The two log views show the contents of the user and service logs. You can copy the text, but you cannot modify it. Click Remove (Clear) in these views to clear the logs.

Broker Archive editor toolbar

The icons in the toolbar and their actions are shown in the table.

Icon Label Action
Add Add To add message flows or message sets to this archive.
Remove Remove To remove message flows or message sets from this archive.
Edit Edit To edit selected message flows or message sets in this archive.
Refresh Refresh To refresh this archive.
A column in the bar editor called Version displays the version tag for all objects that have a defined version. These are:
  • .dictionary files
  • .cmf files
  • Embedded JAR files with a version defined in a META-INF/keywords.txt file

You cannot edit the Version column.

You can use the mqsireadbar command to list the keywords that are defined for each deployable file within a deployable archive file.
