Planning considerations for the
Message Broker include:
- At least one
Message Broker is required for
ActiveMQ MPX operation.
- When the total number of subscribers is relatively low (less than 100 users) and the overall activity is low to moderate (up
to 1,000 updates per hour), a single
Message Broker can be installed on the same computer as the
StarTeam Server.
- A single
Message Broker can fulfill the messaging requirements for multiple configurations (deployed on the same computer or on multiple computers)
if the total update volume is low to moderate.
- To use the same
Message Broker for multiple configurations, the connection profiles in each transmitter XML file should point to the same
Message Broker (see “Managing the Transmitters”).
- Subscribers should use a network-near
Message Broker if possible. The
StarTeam administrator must create MPX profiles to fit the needs of each general location in a distributed group and set one of them
as the default profile. Some subscribers can override the default profile and should do that to select a network-near
Message Broker.
