Adding a bus

A bus is a way of interconnecting machines so that they can be treated as one logical entity. You must first add a bus before you can add servers or server clusters to that bus.

Before you begin
Plan your bus topology. For more information, review the topic Planning a bus topology.
About this task

Adding a bus is the first step in the procedure to create a bus. Use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service integration > Buses. A list of buses is displayed in the content pane.
  2. In the content pane, click New.
  3. Specify a unique name for the bus in the Name field.
  4. Type a description for the bus in the Description field. The description is used for administrative purposes only.
  5. Check the Bus security check box if required.
    • If administrative security is enabled, bus security is enabled automatically, and the Bus security check box is checked.
    • When bus security is enabled, only SSL-enabled transport channel chains are allowed.
    • If bus security is not enabled, any transport channel chain is allowed.
  6. Optional: If you are adding a secured bus that may have multiple bus members, you must specify an inter-engine authentication alias. The bus uses the inter-engine authentication alias to authenticate communications between messaging engines.
  7. Optional: If you are adding a secured bus that may run mediations, you must specify a mediation authentication alias. The bus uses the mediation authentication alias to authenticate access by mediations.
  8. Click Next. A new page confirming the name and security settings of the new bus is displayed.
  9. Save your changes to the master configuration.
What to do next
You can now create a messaging engine, and a bus member.
