Creating a bus

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

About this task

To create a bus with a bus member use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Add a bus. See Adding a bus.
  2. Add a member to the bus. Choose one of the following approaches:
    • Adding a server as a new bus member. This creates a messaging engine with default properties and that uses the default JDBC data source and Cloudscape Version 10.1.x (Derby) JDBC Provider for its data store.
    • Adding a cluster as a member of a bus. This creates a messaging engine for the cluster, with default properties. You must configure a data store that is accessible from every server that can potentially run the messaging engine.
  3. Optional: If required, configure the messaging engine. See Configuring messaging engine properties.
  4. Optional: If required, configure the data store for the messaging engine. Choose one of the following approaches: You can also change the file store configuration. Refer to Modifying file store configuration.
  5. Restart the server or, if the member you added was a cluster, restart the eligible servers in the cluster. The messaging engine starts when the server starts.

Results

A new bus has been created.

What to do next

You can now change the configuration of the bus; for example, by adding additional members, creating bus destinations, and by creating links to WebSphere® MQ networks. You can create other buses and, if required, connect them together.
