A WebSphere MQ server represents a WebSphere MQ queue manager or (for WebSphere MQ for z/OS ) queue-sharing group. We cannot delete a WebSphere MQ server bus definition directly. Instead, when we delete a specified WebSphere MQ server, you remove any associated WebSphere MQ server bus members, as well as assigned queue points and mediation points.
Decide which method to use to configure these resources. We can delete a WebSphere MQ server using the dmgr console as described in Delete a WebSphere MQ server definition, or using the deleteSIBWMQServer command. 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 un-mediates all destinations that were assigned to those bus members.
- It removes all queue points that were assigned to those bus members.
Deleting a WebSphere MQ server definition does not affect the associated queue managers, queue-sharing groups, queues or messages on your WebSphere MQ network.
