After you create a new Static core group policy for a messaging
engine, you configure the policy to specify which server the messaging engine
runs on. Optionally, you can configure the frequency of messaging engine monitoring.
About this task
You can use a Static policy to run a messaging engine in either a
server or a cluster bus member. A Static policy restricts the messaging engine
to a particular server, even in a server cluster. This is useful for a workload
sharing configuration, where you want to spread messaging load across multiple
servers and failover is not required. You can have multiple messaging engines
running in a cluster, with each one restricted to a specific server. Although
the Static policy can accept multiple servers, do not configure more than
one static group server for use with a messaging engine.
Procedure
- Specify which server the messaging engine will run on:
- Click Static group servers.
- Select the server you require from the Core group servers list,
then click Add.
- Ensure that there is only one server in the Static group servers
list, then click OK.
- Optional: If
required, enter a value in the Is alive timer field. This value specifies the interval of time, in seconds, at which
the high availability manager (HAManager) checks
that a messaging engine is running properly. When this value is 0
(zero), the default value of 120 seconds is used.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
