Starting a mediation

Use this task when you want a mediation to apply its message processing to messages at a selected specialized message point on a destination, at runtime.

Before you begin

The mediation you want to start must be associated with a destination. For more information, see Mediating a destination.

About this task

Starting (and stopping) a mediation is a runtime operation. All mediation runtime operations are performed on specialized destination message points called mediation points. When you start a mediation, the mediation begins operating on messages at a selected mediation point. You can start a mediation after the server has started. A mediation cannot operate on new messages at a mediation point after server shutdown begins.
Tip: To ensure that a mediation operates on a specific message at a mediation point, remove all existing messages from the mediation point before you start the mediation. For more information, see Deleting messages on a mediation point.

To start a mediation, complete the following steps in the administrative console:

Procedure

  1. List the mediation points by using the administrative console:
    • To list the mediation points for a bus destination, click Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Destination resources] Destinations -> destination_name -> [Message Points] Mediation points.
    • To list the mediation points for a messaging engine, click Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Messaging engines -> engine_name -> [Message points] Mediation points.
  2. Select the mediation name.
  3. Click Start.

Results

The mediation starts operating on messages at the selected mediation point.

What to do next

To list or delete messages at selected mediation points, see Administering messages on mediation points. To restart a mediation, refer to Restarting a mediation that has stopped on error.
