Making a queue manager a full repository for more than one cluster

A queue manager can be a full repository for more than one cluster at the same time.

About this task

If we want a queue manager to be a full repository for more than one cluster, create a namelist for the queue manager and list the names of the clusters in the namelist. The Create Cluster wizard does not edit namelists so we must manage multiple clusters manually in IBM MQ Explorer.

To make a queue manager a full repository for more than one cluster, complete the following steps.

Procedure

1. Create a new namelist for the queue manager.
2. Open the new namelist's Properties dialog and edit the namelist:
   1. On the General page of the Properties dialog, in the Names field, click Edit. The Edit Names dialog opens.
   2. Click Add The Add to Names dialog opens.
   3. In the Add to Names dialog, type the name of a cluster for which we want the queue manager to be a full repository, then click OK.
   4. Add the name of each cluster for which we want the queue manager to be a full repository.
   5. In the Edit Names dialog, click OK to return to the Properties dialog.
   6. Click OK to apply the changes and close the Properties dialog.

3. Open the queue manager's Properties dialog and specify the namelist:
   1. On the Repository page of the Properties dialog, click Repository for a list a clusters, then type the name of the namelist in the field.
   2. Click OK to apply the changes and close the Properties dialog.

Results

The queue manager is added to the Full Repository folder of the clusters that are listed in the namelist. Any of the clusters that were not previously shown in the Queue Manager Clusters folder are shown now.
