Creating a broker on Linux and UNIX systems
On Linux and UNIX systems, create brokers on the command line; on Linux on x86, you can also create brokers in the IBM® Integration Toolkit.
- If you want to configure the broker as a WebSphere® MQ trusted application, see Using WebSphere MQ trusted applications.
- Read Considering security for a broker.
- Check which operation mode you are licensed to use. If you do not set a mode, the automatic default is advanced mode; seeOperation modes.
When you create a broker, if the WebSphere MQ queue manager does not exist, the queue manager is automatically created. IfWebSphere MQ Version 7.1, or later, has been selected for the queue manager, the channel auth security is automatically disabled.
If the specified queue manager already exists when creating the broker, then it is assumed that the user has applied the appropriate security configuration to meet their requirements, and therefore channel auth security is not disabled.
To create a broker:
Next: Complete the following tasks:
- Start the broker by using the mqsistart command.
- Connect to the broker from the IBM Integration Toolkit, the IBM Integration Explorer, or an CMP application.
When you have completed these tasks, you can create the resources that you want to associate with the broker; for example message flows. You can create and work with resources by using either the IBM Integration Toolkit or the CMP.
