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.
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
- In the navigation pane, click .
A list of buses is displayed in the content pane.
- In the content pane, click New.
- Specify a unique name for the bus in the Name field.
- Type a description for the bus in
the Description field.
The description is used for administrative purposes only.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Click Next. A new page confirming the name and security
settings of the new bus is displayed.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
What to do next
You can now create a messaging engine, and a bus member.
