How does the Configuration Manager handle deployment to a cluster of Brokers? Does it deploy the BAR file to one broker then to the next? |

There is no such thing as a "cluster" of brokers.
Brokers can be in pub/sub topologies.
Brokers can use qmgrs that are clustered.
Every deployment is done to a specific execution group on a specific broker. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general. |

Thanks for clearing this up. I had been told by a couple of engineers that brokers can be clustered. I could not find anything on the IBM site which stated such. |

The Brokers' Queue Managers can participate in MQ Clusters.
and/or
A Broker and its QM can run a server that is part of a hardware cluster.
But in either case you can only deploy to 1 EG on 1 Broker at a time. _________________ Peter Potkay

Does the Config manager deploy to each execution group serially or concurrently? |

The BAR file is sent to the Broker/EG group you specify and processed on arrival. If you deploy to an number of EGs then they will be in various stages of completion _________________ Honesty is the best policy.

You can only tell the ConfigMgr to deploy to one EG.
You can use the ConfigMgrProxyAPI to automate this in a repetitive manner... I believe someone has even published a devWorks article on this. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general. |
