Buses [Settings]

A service integration bus supports applications using message-based and service-oriented architectures. A bus is a group of interconnected servers and clusters that have been added as members of the bus. Applications connect to a bus at one of the messaging engines associated with its bus members.

To view this pane in the console, click the following path:

General properties

Name

The name of the service integration bus. Choose a unique name.

Required No
Data type Text

UUID

The universal unique identifier assigned by the system to this bus for administrative purposes.

Required No

Description

An optional description for the bus, for administrative purposes.

Required No
Data type Text area

Inter-engine transport chain

The transport chain used for communication between messaging engines in this bus.

The transport chain must correspond to one of the transport chains defined in the Messaging engine inbound transports settings for the server. All servers automatically have a number of transport chains defined to them, and it is also possible to create new transport chains.

The default transport chain is InboundBasicMessaging.

Required No
Data type Text

Discard messages

Whether messages on a deleted message point should be retained at a system exception destination or can be discarded.

Required No
Data type Check box

Configuration reload enabled

Select this option to enable certain changes to the bus configuration to be applied without requiring the messaging engines to be restarted.

Required No
Data type Check box

High message threshold

A threshold above which the messaging system will take action to limit the addition of more messages to a message point.

When a messaging engine is created on this bus, the value of this property is used to set the default high message threshold for the messaging engine.
Required No
Data type Long

Topology

Bus members
Bus members are the servers, WebSphere MQ servers and clusters that have been added to the bus.
Messaging engines
A messaging engine manages bus resources and provides a connection point for applications.
Foreign buses
A foreign bus is another bus with which this bus can exchange messages.

Destination resources

Destinations
A bus destination is a logical address within a service integration bus.
Mediations
Mediations define the information needed by a messaging engine to perform the mediation processing for associated destinations.

Services

Inbound Services
An inbound service describes the Web service enablement of a service destination. It provides the configuration of endpoint listeners within a port.
Outbound Services
An outbound service represents a WSDL-described service.
WS-Notification services
A WS-Notification service provides access to service integration bus resources for Web services publish and subscribe clients.

Additional properties

Custom properties
Arbitrary name-value pairs of data, where the name is a property key and the value is a string value that can be used to set internal system configuration properties. Defining a new property enables you to configure a setting beyond that which is available in the administrative console.
Security
Security of your service integration bus can be managed from here.
Web service gateway instances
A web services gateway allows you to configure specific endpoint listeners and deploy gateway and proxy services to those listeners.
