Starting a Message Broker

  1. On the computer where the Message Broker is installed, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. On Microsoft Windows XP systems, click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Select the service named Micro Focus ActiveMQ Message Broker.
  3. Click Start.

When the Message Broker starts, it reads the ActiveMQMessageBroker.ini configuration file. On Windows systems, this file is typically located in the C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\Message Broker folder. Options in this file tell the Message Broker what TCP/IP port (end point) to accept connections on, and which other Message Brokers (if any) to establish communication with to form a Message Broker cloud. See Configuring a Message Broker Cloud for details on the contents of the ActiveMQMessageBroker.ini file.
