Message Broker Communication - Micro Focus

Message Broker Communication

A Message Broker can establish communication with another Message Broker by:

• Initiating the communication with another Message Broker during its startup procedure.
• Being contacted by another Message Broker when that Message Broker starts.

Each Message Broker has its own ActiveMQMessageBroker.ini configuration file located in C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\ActiveMQ Message Broker\conf. The ActiveMQMessageBroker.ini file provides the basic configuration options required to start a broker or setup a network of brokers. ActiveMQ MPX internally uses an xml configuration file activemq.xml which can be edited to use the advanced features. For information on configuring activemq.xml, refer to http://activemq.apache.org/xml-configuration.html.

When a Message Broker first starts, it reads the ActiveMQMessageBroker.ini file and attempts to connect with each of the Message Brokers listed in server_names list. If any of these Message Brokers is not running or cannot be reached when contact is attempted, communication is not established with that Message Broker. However, each Message Broker will retry the connection periodically.
