Creating a bus

When you create a service integration bus, you add a new bus in the administrative console, and then add one or more servers or server clusters as bus members. Thereafter, you administer the bus, and its constituent bus members, as a single unit.

Before you begin

About this task

You can create a bus by using the administrative console. Wizards are provided to help you add a secured bus, and add a member to the bus. A messaging engine is created for most types of bus member, and you are prompted to specify a data store. The exception is WebSphere® MQ server where, because a messaging engine is not created, a message store is not required.

Procedure

  1. Add a secured bus or an unsecured bus. For the steps, see Adding buses.
  2. Add a member to the bus. See Adding a server as a new bus member. This creates a messaging engine with default properties.
  3. Optional: Configure the messaging engine, if required. See Configuring messaging engine properties.
  4. Optional: Configure the message store for the messaging engine, if required. For a messaging engine in an application server, you can change the data store configuration. You might do this, for example, if you want to use DB2® rather than Apache Derby as the database system. For more information about changing the data store configuration, see Configuring a JDBC data source for a messaging engine. You can also change the file store configuration. Refer to Modifying file store configuration.
  5. Restart the server. The messaging engine starts when the server starts.

Results

A new bus is created.

What to do next

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