After establishing a service integration bus link you
might want to configure the properties of a service integration bus link such
as the name of the service integration bus link,
or authentication alias used by foreign bus that the link connects to.
Why and when to perform this task
To configure the properties of a service integration bus link, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:
Steps for this task
- Display the list of messaging engines.
- In the content pane, select
the messaging engine for which you want to configure the service integration bus link.
- In the content pane, under Additional properties, click Service
integration bus links. A list of service integration bus links is
displayed.
- Select the service integration bus link that
you want to configure.
- Specify the following properties for the service integration bus link:
- Name
- The name of the service integration bus link. In order to work, the name must be the same as the name of the corresponding service integration bus link configured on the target foreign bus.
- Description
- An optional description for the service integration bus link, for administrative purposes.
- Foreign bus name
- The foreign bus to which this link connects.
Note: The foreign
bus name must not be altered once it has been configured. If you alter it,
any messaging engines that already hold state information about the link will
not be able to use the link unless the foreign bus name is reset to its original
value.
- Foreign messaging engine
- The messaging engine on the foreign bus to which this link connects.
- Target inbound transport chain
- The type of transport chain used for communication with the foreign bus. The
transport chain name must be the name of the transport chain as defined on
the server on which the target messaging engine is hosted.
- Bootstrap endpoints
- The comma-separated list of endpoints used to connect to a bootstrap server. This property is set in the same way as the Provider endpoint property in the JMS connection factory settings. For more information, see steps 1 and 2 of Configuring a connection to a non-default bootstrap server. Although this task primarily describes how to configure a JMS connection factory, it is also applicable to setting several bootstrap endpoint values if the remote messaging engine is in a cluster.
- Authentication alias
- The name of the authentication alias, used to autnenticate access to the foreign bus. The alias must be known to the foreign bus.
- Initial state
- Whether the link is started automatically when the messaging engine is started. If this
property is set to Started the service integration bus link is
started when the messaging engine is started.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
