Creating a broker

You can create brokers on any platform supported by WebSphere Message Broker. On all platforms apart from HP-UX (Integrity platform), the broker runs as a 32-bit application, even if you subsequently create 64-bit execution groups on the broker. On HP-UX (Integrity platform), the broker is always a 64-bit application.

Create a broker using the command line on the system where the broker component is installed. On Windows and Linux (x86 platform), you can alternatively use the Command Assistant in the Message Brokers Toolkit to complete this task.

You must give the broker a name that is unique within the broker domain. Broker names are case-sensitive on all supported platforms, except Windows.

Follow the instructions appropriate to the platform on which you are creating the broker:
