After you define a direct foreign bus connection between
a service integration bus and either another service integration bus
or a WebSphere® MQ queue manager,
you can test the connection to check that it can be used to exchange
messages.
Before you begin
To test a foreign bus connection, a service integration bus,
known as the local bus, with a direct foreign bus connection to a
service integration bus, or a WebSphere MQ queue
manager must be defined.
About this task
You might want to test a foreign bus connection before you
send messages that use that connection, or if you have difficulty
sending and receiving messages that use that connection. You can test
only direct foreign bus connections. You cannot test indirect foreign
bus connections, because it might not be possible to reach the target
destination bus.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, click .
- In the Buses pane, click the bus that has the connection
you want to test.
- In the configuration tab, under Topology,
click Foreign bus connections. A
list of foreign bus connections is displayed.
- Select the check box for the connection you want to test.
- Click Test Connection.
A message is displayed at the top of the pane that shows
the result of the test.
Results
You have tested a bus connection.
