After you create a new Static core group policy for a messaging
engine, you configure the policy to specify which server the messaging
engine runs on. Optionally, you can configure the frequency of messaging
engine monitoring.
About this task
You can use a Static policy to run a messaging engine in
either a server or a cluster bus member. A Static policy restricts
the messaging engine to a particular server, even in a server cluster.
This is useful for a workload sharing configuration, where you want
to spread messaging load across multiple servers and failover is not
required. You can have multiple messaging engines running in a cluster,
with each one restricted to a specific server. Although the Static
policy can accept multiple servers, do not configure more than one
static group server for use with a messaging engine.
Procedure
- Specify which server the messaging engine will run on:
- Click Static group servers.
- Select the server you require from the Core group servers
list, then click Add.
- Ensure that there is only one server in the Static group
servers list, then click OK.
- Optional: If
required, enter a value in the Is alive timer field.
This value specifies the interval of time, in seconds, at which
the high availability manager (HAManager) checks that a messaging
engine is running properly. When this value is 0 (zero), the default
value of 120 seconds is used.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
