Kulbir, >>>Can someone confirm that the Database used by the WBI MB broker is used >>>just for deployment, startup and shutdown purposes only and is not used for >>>processing of messages by message flows that are executing?
The broker database is accessed during runtime if you have message flows using Publication nodes or message aggregation. >>>Can someone also please confirm that the Database does not need to be installed locally >>>on the machine that is running the broker and can be installed on another machine as >>>long as the ODBC (and any other configuration) settings are correct. The broker DB can be accessed remotely using a DB client. I don't know that this is universally supported, though. I have only seen it done with DB2. I don't know that you can't do the same with other DBMSs, I just can't confirm that it can be done. >>>Ideally we want to install the WBI MB broker on a Sun Solaris machine and have the >>>Oracle Database used by it installed on another Solaris machine, as long as this doesn't effect >>>performance. Is this something someone has done before and/or would like to comment on? It will very much affect performance if you are using Publication nodes or message aggregation in message flows.
