Configuring the properties of a service integration bus link

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

  1. Display the list of messaging engines.
  2. In the content pane, select the messaging engine for which you want to configure the service integration bus link.
  3. In the content pane, under Additional properties, click Service integration bus links. A list of service integration bus links is displayed.
  4. Select the service integration bus link that you want to configure.
  5. 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.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Save your changes to the master configuration.
