# Create path services

Before you begin

- Configure clusters
- Configure persistent stores
- Configure Store-and-Forward

A path service is used to store the routing path between a group of messages and a messaging resource such as a member of a distributed destination or a store-and-forward agent.

To create a path service:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the console, expand Services and select Path Services.
3. On the Summary of Path Services page, click New.

   Note: Once you create a path service, you cannot rename it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the new name.

4. On the Create a New Path Service page:
   1. Name -- Name for the path service.
   2. Persistent Store -- Select a persistent store from the drop-down box.
5. Click Next.
6. Select a cluster member to target your path service.
7. Click Finish.
8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
