Maintenance Operations

Broker administration and tuning

• Using broker metrics to tune and reconfigure a broker ( Chapter 13, Analyzing and Tuning a Message Service)

• Managing broker memory resources (Managing Broker System-Wide Memory)

• Creating and managing broker clusters to balance message load (Chapter 10, Configuring and Managing Broker Clusters)

• Recovering failed brokers (Starting Brokers).

Administered objects

• Adjusting connection factory attributes to ensure the correct behavior of client applications (Connection Factory Attributes)

• Monitoring and managing physical destinations ( Configuring and Managing Physical Destinations)

• Controlling user access to destinations ( Authorization Rules for Physical Destinations)

Client management

• Monitoring and managing durable subscriptions (see Managing Durable Subscriptions).

• Monitoring and managing transactions (see Managing Transactions).
