Hi Arpan,
please provide some more informations on the Broker and Command Central versions you are planning to use.
Latest Broker Version available is 9.6 which can be used with wM 9.6 and newer.
Regards,
Holger
Hi Holger,
Command Central and webMethods version is 9.9. I am not sure whether the latest version of Broker is compatible with 9.9 Command Central.
Could you please let me know?
Hi Arpan,
Broker 9.6 is compatible with all current wM Versions starting with 9.6.
But I am not sure about the configuration templates for Command Central (if there is one existing or not).
Might be that there is no such template planned as for the most recent versions UM is the favorized Messaging component.
Regards,
Holger
Broker has been deprecated and will be completely gone by 2020.
The latest version is 9.6 and there was no investment is Broker support since 9.0 release which means it lacks support for major features in Command Central.
The only thing you can do is to install Broker binaries using Command Central but CC will not create Broker Server instance for you, you’ll have to script it yourself.
To install Broker binaries there are 3 options:
-
You can use ‘broker-bin’ snapshot template from CC Web UI or CLI. If you’re on CC 9.9, this requires Fix2.
-
You can use CC CLI

- You can create custom composite template to include Broker
Here is a sample fragment
templates:
broker_only_no_instances:
fixes: ALL
products:
BrokerNOTE: in the upcoming CC 9.10 it will be possible to invoke shell actions from composite templates which would allow to call broker server instance creation command on the target SPM.
Thanks

Please see attached template.
NOTE that Broker is a deprecated product since 9.6. It does not support instance management API in Command Central and thus its instances can not be managed properly like IS, MWS, UM, etc. The example template is a workaround, not a proper solution, but it will stay this way as no investment is going into Broker support anymore.
Please consider upgrading to Universal Messaging which is fully supported from the CC/Ops perspective.
Thanks
Sergei

Thank you, Segei! It is working.
That’s a real pity - particularly as it is the most reliable of all products of SAG’s portfolio.
Best regards,
Marcus
