Installing MPX Message Brokers

The root Message Broker can be installed on the same computer where the StarTeam Server is installed, or it can be installed on a network-near computer. At least one Message Broker must be installed in your environment to provide messaging services for an MPX-enabled Server. As described in "Understanding Clouds" in the StarTeamMPX Administrator’s Guide, you may want to install more than one Message Broker to meet your needs.

To install the Message Broker on Microsoft Windows:

Log on to the computer as the administrator or as a user with administrative privileges.
Navigate to the directory that contains the downloaded files.
Run the installation file for the ActiveMQ MPX Message Broker or the StarTeamMPX Message Broker.
Walk through the installer and select the configuration options specific to your environment. For example, are you upgrading or freshly installing? Are you are installing the ActiveMQ MPX Message Broker or the StarTeamMPX Message Broker? Do you want the service to start automatically or manually.
