Lesson 1: Creating the Target Database

New: 15 September 2007

In this lesson, you will learn to create the target database and all the Service Broker target objects that do not have dependencies on the initiator database. Run these steps from a copy of Management Studio that is running on the same computer as the target instance the Database Engine.

Procedures

Create a Service Broker endpoint

Copy and paste the following code into a Query Editor window. Then, run it to create a Service Broker endpoint for this instance of the Database Engine. A Service Broker endpoint establishes the network address to which Service Broker messages are sent. This endpoint uses the Service Broker default of TCP port 4022, and establishes that the remote instances of the Database Engine will use Windows Authentication connections to send messages.

Windows Authentication works when both computers are in the same domain or trusted domains. If the computers are not in trusted domains, use certificate security for the endpoints. For more information, see How to: Create Certificates for Service Broker Transport Security (Transact-SQL).
```
USE master;
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM master.sys.endpoints
           WHERE name = N'InstTargetEndpoint')
     DROP ENDPOINT InstTargetEndpoint;
GO
CREATE ENDPOINT InstTargetEndpoint
STATE = STARTED
AS TCP ( LISTENER_PORT = 4022 )
FOR SERVICE_BROKER (AUTHENTICATION = WINDOWS );
GO
```

Create the target database, master key, and user

Copy and paste the following code into a Query Editor window. Change the password on the CREATE MASTER KEY statement. Then, run the code to create the target database used for this tutorial. By default, new databases have the ENABLE_BROKER option set to on. The code also creates the master key and user that will be used to support encryption and remote connections.
```
USE master;
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.databases
           WHERE name = N'InstTargetDB')
     DROP DATABASE InstTargetDB;
GO
CREATE DATABASE InstTargetDB;
GO
USE InstTargetDB;
GO
CREATE MASTER KEY
       ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = N'<EnterStrongPassword1Here>';
GO
CREATE USER TargetUser WITHOUT LOGIN;
GO
```

Create the target certificate

Copy and paste the following code into a Query Editor window. Change the file name that is specified in the BACKUP CERTIFICATE statement to refer to a folder on your system. Then, run the code to create the target certificate that is used to encrypt messages. The folder that you specify should have permissions that prevent access from accounts other than your Windows account and the Windows account the instance of the Database Engine is running under. For Lesson 2, you must manually copy the InstTargetCertificate.cer file to a folder that can be accessed from the initiator instance.
```
CREATE CERTIFICATE InstTargetCertificate 
     AUTHORIZATION TargetUser
     WITH SUBJECT = 'Target Certificate',
          EXPIRY_DATE = N'12/31/2010';

BACKUP CERTIFICATE InstTargetCertificate
  TO FILE = 
N'C:\storedcerts\$ampleSSBCerts\InstTargetCertificate.cer';
GO
```

Create the message types

Copy and paste the following code into a Query Editor window then run it to create the message types for the conversation. The message type names and properties specified here must be identical to the ones that you will create in the InstInitiatorDB in the next lesson.
```
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE [//BothDB/ 2InstSample/RequestMessage]
       VALIDATION = WELL_FORMED_XML;
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE [//BothDB/ 2InstSample/ReplyMessage]
       VALIDATION = WELL_FORMED_XML;
GO
```

Create the contract

Copy and paste the following code into a Query Editor window. Then, run it to create the contract for the conversation. The contract name and properties that are specified here must be identical to the contract that you will create in the InstInitiatorDB in the next lesson.
```
CREATE CONTRACT [//BothDB/ 2InstSample/SimpleContract]
      ([//BothDB/ 2InstSample/RequestMessage]
         SENT BY INITIATOR,
       [//BothDB/ 2InstSample/ReplyMessage]
         SENT BY TARGET
      );
GO
```

Create the target queue and service

Copy and paste the following code into a Query Editor window. Then, run it to create the queue and service that is used for the target. The CREATE SERVICE statement associates the service with the InstTargetQueue, so that all messages sent to the service will be received into the InstTargetQueue. The CREATE SERVICE also specifies that only conversations that use the //BothDB/ 2InstSample/SimpleContract that was created earlier can use the service as a target service.
```
CREATE QUEUE InstTargetQueue;

CREATE SERVICE [//TgtDB/2InstSample/TargetService]
       AUTHORIZATION TargetUser
       ON QUEUE InstTargetQueue
       ([//BothDB/2InstSample/SimpleContract]);
GO
```

Next Steps

You have successfully created the databases that will be used for the tutorial. Next, you will create the InstInitiatorDB and configure it with the objects required to support the initiator end of a Service Broker Conversation. See Lesson 2: Creating the Initiator Database.
