eg : cp qi.xml CNDAEAI2APZP16_qi_BREIBP5.xml
iii) Edit the new file as shown below-
Enter the Message broker ID in the shown in bold character below

bash-3.2$ more CNDAEAI2APZP16_qi_BREIBP5.xml
<!--defaultPersistentBrokerData="NO"-->
<!--Agent performance during startup will be greatly enhanced if the defaultPersistentBrokerData parameter is set to YES.-->
<!--Note: the defaultReplyQueueModel parameter must be set to "SYSTEM.BROKER.INTERBROKER.MODEL.QUEUE" or the name of another permanent model q
ueue if the defaultPersistentBrokerData parameter is set to YES.-->
<!--When agent is not running, the subscription $SYS/Broker/<broker_label>/# and the reply queue used by the agent will continue to receive an
d store broker event messages ready for processing when the agent is restarted.-->
<!--You must ensure that the reply queue does not become full when the agent is stopped. In particular, the reply queue will become full extr
emely fast if snapshot accounting is enabled. -->
<!--The requirements and effects of setting the persistentBrokerData parameter to YES for a single broker are same as setting the defaultPersi
stentBrokerData parameter to YES described in above.-->
