Configuring a routing definition

Use this task to configure an existing routing definition (virtual link) to a foreign bus.

Why and when to perform this task

To configure a routing definition (virtual link), use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service integration > Buses. A list of buses is displayed in the content pane.
  2. In the content pane, select the local bus associated with the foreign bus.
  3. In the content pane, under Additional properties, click Foreign buses. A list of foreign buses is displayed.
  4. Select the foreign bus.
  5. In the content pane, under Additional properties, click the routing properties option. The title of the routing properties option will vary according to the type of routing definition; it will be one of the following:
    • Service integration bus link routing properties
    • WebSphere MQ link routing properties
    • Indirect routing properties
  6. Specify the new routing properties:
    • For a virtual service integration bus link or a virtual WebSphere MQ link, specify properties as follows:
      Inbound user ID
      The user name used to authenticate inbound message flows from the foreign bus.
      The inbound user ID is used to authorize individual messages arriving from the foreign bus to destinations in this bus. When set, this property replaces the user Id in messages entering this bus from the foreign bus. If this is not a secure bus, this property has no affect on messages. You may wish to specify an inbound user ID:
      • if the foreign bus is in a different security domain from this bus and user IDs from the foreign bus are not recognized in this bus
      • to locally-control access of inbound messages to this bus.
      If this is a secure bus and the foreign bus is not secure, and no inbound user ID is set, any inbound messages from the foreign bus will only be authorized to destinations that allow unauthenticated users access.
      Outbound user ID
      The user name used to authenticate outbound message flows to the foreign bus.

      The outbound user ID replaces the user ID that identifies the source of a message in all messages being sent to the foreign bus. When set, this property replaces the user Id in messages leaving this bus for the foreign bus. This user ID is also be used by the foreign bus to authorize the message to its destination if both buses are secure buses and the foreign bus has not overridden the user ID with its own inbound user ID.

    • For an indirect link, select the name of the next service integration bus in the sequence of connected buses.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Save your changes to the master configuration
