Local WebSphere Message Broker Install on Windows Domain

After having a lot of difficulty setting up a local WMQ and WMB install on my domain account, here is what I did:

• Install MQ and its fixpacks


• Install WMB runtime and its fixpacks


• Install the Broker Toolkit


• Created a local Windows user with the same username/password as my domain user


• Add user to mqbrkrs and mqm groups


• Install latest DB2 Express


• Start the broker command console

• Open MQ Explorer


• Create new queue named DLQ in ESBBKL


• Create new TCP Listener (I used port 1414, the default)


• In the toolkit, add new Domain Connection to ESBBKL port 1414 on localhost


• Connect to the new Domain


• Add new broker reference to the topology, ESBBKLBKR on ESBBKL


• Enjoy!

Note: if you want to delete and start over, do NOT delete the database first. If you do, call mqsicreatedb again, then use mqsichangebroker and set your username and password again.

The steps I follow to delete are:

• Start broker command console and cd c:\IBM\WMQ\bin


• call mqsistop ESBBKLBKR


• call mqsideletebroker ESBBKLBKR


• call mqsistop ESBBKL_CFGMGR


• call mqsideleteconfigmgr -w -q ESBBKL_CFGMGR


• call mqsideletedb -d DeleteAllDatabases
