Learning about messaging engines
Messaging engines are an important component of service integration
technologies because they allow applications to communicate with the bus,
and process messages. Use the subtopics to learn about messaging engines.
Why and when to perform this task
Messaging engines
A messaging engine is a server component that provides the core messaging function of a service integration bus. A messaging engine manages bus resources and allows applications to communicate with the bus.
Message points
A message point is associated with a messaging engine and holds messages for a bus destination.
Messaging engine communication
You can configure different transport options for communication between messaging engines and with WebSphere MQ networks. For example, this allows you to specify which protocols will be able to communicate.
Security considerations for messaging engines
When bus security is enabled, a number of considerations apply to messaging engines. These include setting the Inter-engine authentication alias used for verifying messaging engines joining the bus and for secure communication between messaging engines.
