Hi All,
I have Message Broker toolkit V5 in Dev box and it is allowing to use only for one user. (.lock file) in meta data folder is locking and not allowing multiple users to open.
I would like to create another workspace and use the toolkit, even another user also uses it. Will it work out? If not, could you please post some suggestions and also how to open different workspace in MessageBroker V5.
Thanks in Advance.  |

Eclipse does not allow two users to use the same workspace at the same time, ever. You really don't want Raj making one change to a message flow and saving it and then having Sunil make a different change to the old message flow and saving over Raj's changes.
WMB v5 is entirely out of support. You should not be using it at all, except to ensure you have all of the projects you need to migrate to 6.1 or 7.
There's a way to instruct any given Eclipse workbench to "switch workspaces". There's a setting in any given Eclipse workbench to "prompt for workspace" at startup. |

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your response.
As you said "Eclipse does not allow two users to use the same workspace at the same time, ever"
Am not looking for the work on the same workspace, so i pointed "I would like to create another workspace and use the toolkit" in my early post.
To be more clear
User1 logins on the Dev box with his login details and opens (Toolkit --> Workspace1 --> Diff MsgFlow)
User2 logins on the Dev box with his login details and opens (Toolkit --> Workspace2 --> Diff MsgFlow)
My question is.. By creating diff workspaces..is it possible to open toolkit from multiple users and work on diff flows or not. Becasue (.lock) is an obstacle for the users for instances of toolkit.
And i do not find any setting like swith workspace in MB 5.0 to work with diff workspaces.
Please suggest.
Thanks |

You can always launch multiple MBTKs at the same time as long as they are all using different workspaces.
To switch workspace, you can use menu "File --> Switch Workspace".
You can also edit "eclipse.ini" in your MBTK installation folder and remove line "-data" and the following line. By doing that, the MBTK will prompt you to select a workspace directory everytime when you launch MBTK.
Hope that helps. But as Jeff pointed out, V5.0 is out of service, you really shouldn't be using it. |

Hi mqming,
As you said "But as Jeff pointed out, V5.0 is out of service, you really shouldn't be using it."
I agree with both of you, but one man cannot change the project perspective, the flows are developed earlier on MB V5 and already in prod.
But i do not find switch workspace in MB V5.0, this was my clear point.
If i have the switch workspace option in V5, i wouldn't have posted this topic.
Thanks for your responses |

You need to use the -data option on the command line when starting up Toolkit v5.
so either modify your shortcut to include -data "<location>", or run mqsistudio from the command line and specify -data "<location>" |
