Learning about messaging engines
Messaging engines are an important component of service integration
technologies because they allow applications to communicate with the bus,
and process messages. Use the subtopics to learn about messaging engines.
About this task
Subtopics
Messaging engines
A messaging engine is
a server component that provides the core messaging function of a service
integration bus. A messaging engine manages
bus resources and allows applications to communicate with the bus.
Message points
A message point is associated with a messaging engine and holds
messages for a bus destination.
Messaging engine communication
You can configure different transport options for communication
between messaging engines and with WebSphere MQ networks. For example, this
allows you to specify which protocols will be able to communicate.
Security considerations for messaging engines
When bus security is enabled, a number of considerations apply
to messaging engines. These include setting the Inter-engine authentication
alias used for verifying messaging engines joining the bus and for secure
communication between messaging engines.
