Hosting Service Component Architecture applications and application destinations

A server or cluster can be configured to host Service Component Architecture (SCA) applications and application destinations. These destinations can be used to support SCA applications installed locally or on a remote server or cluster.

Before you begin

You must be logged in as administrator or configurator to perform the following task.

Why and when to perform this task

This task involves configuring the system and application buses. You can use existing data sources for one or both of the buses, or you can configure new data sources. Note the following considerations for data sources:

To configure a server or cluster to host SCA applications and destinations, use the following procedure.

Steps for this task

  1. From within the administrative console, click one of the following, depending on your scope:
    • To configure a server: Servers > Application Servers > server_name> Service Component Architecture
    • To configure a cluster: Servers > Clusters > cluster_name> Service Component Architecture
  2. Click Configure a destination location.
  3. Use the JDBC provider drop-down menu to specify the appropriate template for the JDBC provider. The JDBC provider you select determines the type of database that can be used for the system and application buses.
  4. In the User name field, type the ID you are using to access the data sources for the system and application buses.
  5. In the Password field, type the password associated with the user ID.
  6. Specify the configuration for the SCA system bus, as follows.
    Type of data source to use Steps to perform
    Existing data source
    Note: You must use a different data source for the system bus and the application bus.
    1. Click Use existing data source.
    2. Use the drop-down menu to specify the data source you want to use.
    New data source
    1. If the database you are using supports schema names, use the Schema name field to specify the schema that contains the system bus data source tables.
    2. In the Database properties field, enter any custom properties required by the SCA system bus data source.
  7. Specify the configuration for the SCA application bus, as follows.
    Type of data source to use Steps to perform
    Existing data source
    Note: You must use a different data source for the system bus and the application bus.
    1. Click Use existing data source.
    2. Use the drop-down menu to specify the data source you want to use.
    New data source
    1. If the database you are using supports schema names, use the Schema name field to specify the schema that contains the system bus data source tables.
    2. In the Database properties field, enter any custom properties required by the SCA application bus data source.
  8. Click OK.

Result

The server or cluster can host SCA applications and application destinations. In addition, the SchedulerCalendar application is now available to support application hosting.
