Creating a foreign destination on a bus
You can create a foreign destination on a service integration bus. A foreign destination represents a destination that is defined in another bus (a foreign bus). You use a foreign destination when you need to override messaging defaults, security settings, or both for an individual destination on a foreign bus.
About this task

This figure shows a foreign destination that points to a target destination on another bus. There is also a JMS connection factory and JMS queue that an application uses without being aware of the associated foreign destination.
The foreign destination encapsulates the name of the target destination that exists in the foreign bus (Identifier property) and the name of that foreign bus (Bus property). An application that is to use the foreign destination to exchange messages with the target destination must specify the Identifier and Bus properties.
JMS queue | Foreign destination (on BusA) | Queue (on BusB) |
---|---|---|
Queue name targetQueue Bus name BusB |
Identifier targetQueue Bus BusB |
Identifier targetQueue |
To define a new foreign destination, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.
Procedure
What to do next
You can change properties or configure further properties of the foreign destination. See Configuring bus destination properties.
If you want to override security settings for the destination, see Administering destination roles.
