Configuring messaging engine properties

Use this task to configure the properties of a messaging engine.

Why and when to perform this task

To configure the properties of a messaging engine, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

Steps for this task

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service integration > Buses.
  2. In the content pane, click the name of the bus to which your messaging engine belongs.
  3. Under Additional properties, click Messaging engines. A list of messaging engines is displayed.
  4. Click the messaging engine name.
  5. Under General properties, specify the following properties:
    Description
    An optional description for the messaging engine, for administrative purposes.
    Initial state
    The initial state determines whether the messaging engine is started automatically. If this property is selected, the messaging engine starts automatically when its associated application server is started. Until the messaging engine starts, it is unavailable.
    High message threshold
    The maximum total number of messages that the messaging engine can place on its message points. When the messaging engine is created, the high message threshold of the bus is used to set the default value for this property.

    When a message point is created on this messaging engine, the value of this property is used to set the default high message threshold for the message point.

    Target groups
    A list of target groups that the messaging engine should join. Custom target groups are a type of target group used by JMS connection factories. When an application creates a connection to a service integration bus, it uses connection factory properties to indicate suitable messaging engines to connect to. When a target type of "Custom" is specified in the connection factory targetType property, the application will be connected to one of the messaging engines in the specified custom target group. A particular messaging engine is selected from the group according to the other connection factory properties that have been specified.
  6. Click OK
  7. Save your changes to the master configuration
