webMethods Broker is deprecated for use with webMethods 9.8. If you are starting development using webMethods 9.8, you should use webMethods Universal Messaging instead of webMethods Broker. If you are upgrading to webMethods 9.8, you should consider migrating to Universal Messaging. If you choose to continue to use webMethods Broker, you will still be fully supported for the entire lifecycle of the webMethods 9.8 release.
