Testing the configuration

To test the configuration you have made in the previous sections, you will need to have WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit installed.

• Run the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and create a clean workspace. In this tutorial, “\testws”.

Figure 6.1 – Selecting the workspace

• Change your perspective to “Broker Administration” perspective.

Figure 6.2 – Changing the perspective

• Under “Broker Administration Navigator”, right click on “Domain Connections” and select “New > Domain Connection”.

Figure 6.3 – Creating a new domain connection – Step 1

• In the “Domain Connection” windows, type “CMGR01_QM” for the “Queue Manager Name”, your Configuration Manager’s hostname, “SAW-WMB” for the “Host” and leave other values as default. Click “Next”.

Figure 6.4 – Creating a new domain connection – Step 2

• In the next window, type “DOMCONN” for the “Connection name. Click “Finish”.

Figure 6.5 – Creating a new domain connection – Step 3

• In the next windows, type “DOMCONN” for the “Connection name. Click “Finish”.

• In the “Domains” window, check that “CMGR01” is added successfully. Right click and select “Connect”.

• When connected, right click on the “CMGR01” and select “New > Broker Reference”.

Figure 6.7 – Creating a new Broker Reference – Step 1

• In the “Broker Reference” window, type “BRK01” for the “Broker name” and “BRK01_QM” for the “Queue Manager Name”. Click “Finish”.
