This topic describes how to delete a WebSphere® MQ link from a messaging engine
on a service integration bus.
Before you begin
Before
you start you need to:
- Know the name of the WebSphere MQ
link that you intend to delete.
- Ensure that no application is putting messages to the foreign
bus serviced by the link.
- Check that there are no indoubt messages on the link. If an attempt
is made to delete a WebSphere MQ
link while there are persistent messages on the service integration
bus associated with a sender channel, the messages are moved to an
exception destination.
- Consider informing the WebSphere MQ
administrator that the WebSphere MQ
link is about to be deleted and therefore no longer paired with its WebSphere MQ gateway queue
manager or message broker in the WebSphere MQ
network.

link, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:
