Adding a cluster as a member of a bus

You can add a cluster as a member of a service integration bus so it can use the bus to communicate.

Why and when to perform this task

The members of a service integration bus are the application servers and clusters within which messaging engines for that bus can run.

If you want to add a server cluster as a member of a bus, consider the following points:

To add a server cluster as a member of a bus, 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 bus to which you want to add the member.
  3. In the content pane, under Topology, click Bus members. A list of members in the bus is displayed.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click the Cluster button.
  6. Use the selection list to select the name of the cluster that you want to add as a bus member.
  7. In the Data source JNDI name field, type the JNDI name of the data source that provides access to the database that holds the data store.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Click Finish to confirm the creation of the bus member.
  10. Save your changes to the master configuration.

The member is added to the bus and a default messaging engine is created for that member.

You can now change the configuration of the messaging engine and associated data store if required.

If you want high availability and not workload sharing then there is no further configuration of the messaging engine needed. If you want workload sharing then you need to add as many messaging engines as you require to the cluster. If you want to customize the way that messaging engines are managed, you should create and configure a policy for the messaging engines. For more information about configuring messaging engines and policies, see the related tasks.
