Delete a WebSphere MQ server definition
A WebSphere MQ server represents a WebSphere MQ queue manager or (for WebSphere MQ for z/OS) queue-sharing group. This topic describes how to delete a WebSphere MQ server definition.
Decide which method to use to configure these resources. We can delete a WebSphere MQ server by using the admin console as described in this task, or by using the deleteSIBWMQServer command.
Ensure that no application is putting messages to the bus members located on the WebSphere MQ server.
Inform the WebSphere MQ administrator that the WebSphere MQ server is about to be deleted and therefore will no longer interoperate with its WebSphere MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group in the WebSphere MQ network.
When you delete a WebSphere MQ server definition, the deletion process also modifies the following associated resources:
- It deletes all WebSphere MQ server bus members that were created when the server was added to service integration buses.
- It unmediates all destinations assigned to those bus members.
- It removes all queue points assigned to those bus members.
Delete a WebSphere MQ server definition does not affect the associated queue managers, queue-sharing groups, queues or messages on your WebSphere MQ network.
Procedure
- Start the admin console.
- Navigate to Servers -> Server Types -> WebSphere MQ servers . The WebSphere MQ servers [Collection] form is displayed.
- Select the check box next to the WebSphere MQ server to delete.
- Click Delete. If the processing completes successfully, the list of WebSphere MQ servers is updated. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- Restart the application server.
