Server Group Management

A server group is a collection of middleware servers—including queue managers, EMS or Kafka brokers—that are managed together (for example, PROD vs. TEST or EMEA vs. US). In the security application, servers are managed separately from objects so that it is easy to change the scope of security requests as the environment changes.
Properly configured server groups are required when creating and editing roles and objects. 

To configure, create, edit, or remove servers/agents, select Security Manager > Server Group Management. A sample entry for All Queue Managers is listed.

The default record for all queue managers includes an asterisk in each of these three fields. 

    In version 11.2, to specify the parameters of this server group, select the Server List tab. Enter values for the WGS Name, Node Name, and Manager Name. An regex can be used to represent "All" (for example, an regex under Manager Name indicates "all managers." The default record for all queue managers includes an asterisk in each of these three fields. 

  2. Click +Add.
  3. Repeat steps 4 and 5 as needed.
