You can add a server cluster as a member of a service integration bus so that it can use the bus to communicate. When a cluster is added to the bus, all servers in the cluster are added to it, and at least one messaging engine is created. The members of a service integration bus are the application servers and clusters within which messaging engines for that bus can run.
You can use the default JDBC data source and Derby JDBC Provider for its data store. If you do not want to use the default data source configuration, you can use a different data source or you can configure the data store to use a different JDBC provider.
In this release, the procedure to create or modify a cluster bus member is simplified. In the administrative console, you can use a wizard to create a cluster bus member, so that there is guidance through the steps, the correct components are created, and some components are created automatically.
When you create or modify a cluster bus member, you can use messaging engine policy assistance, which provides guidance about creating and configuring messaging engines in a cluster to provide the behavior you require. You can select from one of three predefined messaging engine policy types, which support cluster configurations that require high availability, scalability, or both. For more advanced requirements, you can use messaging engine policy assistance to create a custom configuration, and some associated components are created automatically.
newfeatYou can add a cluster as a member of a bus and use messaging engine policy assistance and a predefined messaging engine policy that provides high availability, scalability, or scalability with high availability. Messaging engine policy assistance helps you to create and configure the messaging engines in a cluster to provide the required messaging engine behavior.
You can add a cluster as a member of a bus and use messaging engine policy assistance and the custom messaging engine policy. In this situation, messaging engine policy assistance helps you to create and configure messaging engines in a cluster that is a member of a bus when the predefined messaging engine policy types do not meet your needs. You can configure the messaging engine behavior, and the appropriate messaging engine policies are created automatically.
You can add a cluster as a member of a service integration bus without using messaging engine policy assistance. One messaging engine with default properties is created for the cluster. After you add the cluster, you can create more messaging engines and you can create and configure new core group policies to customize the way that the messaging engines are managed.
