Copying a broker

Before you start:

You must complete the following task:

You can copy a broker that you have previously added to a broker domain. The new broker reference can be pasted within the same broker domain only.

The new broker inherits the same short and long description as the original broker, and the same execution groups are added; the message flows under the execution groups of the original broker are not inherited by the new broker's execution groups. All other broker properties and multicast properties are not inherited by the new broker.

The new broker is automatically given a unique broker name, and queue manager name.

The following steps show you how to copy a broker.

  1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
  2. In the Domains view, open the broker domain and right-click the broker that you want to copy. Click Copy.
  3. In the broker domain right-click the Broker Topology and click Paste.
  4. You are prompted to deploy the updated topology configuration. Click Delta to perform a delta deploy. If user preferences are not set to prompt, the topology deploy is automatic.

    The new broker reference is added to the broker domain. It inherits the short and long description and the same execution groups as the original broker.

    The new broker is given a unique name in the broker domain, and a new queue manager name.

The newly-created broker does not necessarily reference a physical broker correctly. The workbench does not check if a physical broker exists for the new broker reference.

To ensure that the broker reference does not contain any errors, rename the broker and the broker's queue manager to be exactly the same names as those specified on the mqsicreatebroker command when the physical broker was created:
