Hi all,

this may be understand as an strange/weird question but what can be done in broker to disable users to execute services/applications in websphere message broker, while the operations team is deploying message flows.

The goal here is to prevent users to make changes in data while news versions of message flows are being deployed.

environment:
Websphere message broker 8.0.0.5 running on windows 2008R2 server

Best regards

You mean, other than stopping the flows?

Hi mqjeff,

right , that's an option: Stop the message flows that will be deployed , but, is it possible to take it to "another level" ?

Our applications are mainly message flows built with soap nodes (xml/http web services), so, we are looking for some way of stopping http connections while deploying (we are using embbeded http listeners - each execution group has a listener). So , stopping the execution group http listener is a possibility , but, can it be done in message broker ?

don't you have quiet periods when activity is low?
In a previous job we used to schedule all WebServices updates for 02:00 on a Monday morning.

IMFO, this is far simpler that trying to update heavily loaded systems on the fly because I guess you are not using versioning on your WebService call URL

This is a perceived answer to a perceived symptom...
What is the underlying requirement??

What's the difference between stopping the EG listener (if you can, which I believe you can't) and stopping the flows? Both methods will stop flows processing messages.

What's wrong (as has been suggested) with either telling the users not to process during the deploy window (which we do here) or put versioning on the URLs?

How about putting apache or WAS IHS in front of your EG listeners, so that among other benefits, all of your users can use a single hostname/port for all of your flows.

Then you can simply stop the http server.

Also.

You really don't need to stop the flows or the incoming requests during deployment. Broker has really always handled this just fine. It lets existing threads complete before it starts new threads with the new code.
