Creating a broker

You can create brokers on every platform that is supported by IBM® Integration Bus. The broker runs as a 64-bit application on all platforms except Linux on x86 and Windows on x86.

Before you start:

Complete the following tasks:

Ensure that your user ID has the correct authorizations to perform the task. Refer to Security requirements for administrative tasks.
On distributed systems, you must set up your command-line environment before creating a broker, by running the product profile or console; refer to Setting up a command environment.
On z/OS®, you must create and start the queue manager for this broker before you create the component.

Create a broker by using the command line on the computer on which you have installed the Integration Bus component. On Windows and Linux on x86, you can alternatively use the IBM Integration Toolkit or IBM Integration Explorer to complete this task.

You must give the broker a name that is unique on the local computer.
Broker names are case sensitive on all supported platforms, except Windows.
You must associate each broker with its own dedicated WebSphere® MQ queue manager.
Brokers can access only local queue managers, so you cannot create a broker on a queue manager that is on a remote system.

The mode in which your broker is working can affect the number of integration servers and message flows that you can deploy, and the types of node that you can use. See Restrictions that apply in each operation mode.

To create a broker, follow the link for the appropriate platform. Alternatively, follow the link to create a broker using the IBM Integration Toolkit or IBM Integration Explorer.
