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.

About this task

To configure the properties of a service integration bus link, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Procedure

  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.
    Remote messaging engine name
    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
    Enter one or more bootstrap endpoints, that is, the host, port location, and transport chain for the messaging engine on the foreign bus that the local service integration bus connects to. The port is the SIB_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS (or SIB_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS if security is enabled) of the messaging engine. Use the format hostName:portNumber:chainName, separating each bootstrap endpoint by a comma. This property is set in the same way as the Provider endpoint property in the JMS connection factory settings. For more information, see the steps relating to setting bootstrap endpoints in Configuring a connection to a non-default bootstrap server. This task primarily describes how to configure a JMS connection factory, but also applies to setting several bootstrap endpoint values if the remote messaging engine is in a cluster.
    Note: Service integration bus links over BootstrapTunneledMessaging and BootstrapTunneledSecureMessaging transport chains only work directly between application server instances. Bus links over TunneledMessaging transport chains do not work if an HTTP server is placed in front of either application server instance.
    Authentication alias
    The name of the authentication alias, used to authenticate 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. Until started, the gateway link is unavailable. 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.
