The core group bridge service can be configured for communication between core groups. A core group is a statically defined component of the high availability manager. To configure communication between core groups, use an access point group. An access point group is a collection of core groups that communicate with each other.
Before you begin
Review the following topics before you configure a core group bridge service:Why and when to perform this task
You must configure the core group bridge service whenever two or more core groups are configured in the same cell. You can also configure the core group bridge to share traffic among core groups that are in different cells. Configure the core group bridge to communicate between cells only when the service is required by another WebSphere Application Server component. By configuring the core group bridge service, the availability status of the servers in each core group is shared among all the configured core groups. For more information, see Core group communications using the core group bridge service. You can configure core groups to communicate in the following ways:Steps for this task
