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:
- If you are using a DB2 database with your messaging engines, you can use
the same database instance for both the system and application bus data sources,
but you must specify a unique schema name for each bus. (The schema contains
tables for the data source; each messaging engine stores its resources in
a single schema, and each database schema is used by one messaging engine
only.)
- If you are using any other supported database, you must use a different
database instance for the system and application bus data sources.
To configure a server or cluster to host SCA applications and destinations,
use the following procedure.
Steps for this task
- 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
- Click Configure a destination location.
- 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.
- In the User name field, type the ID you
are using to access the data sources for the system and application buses.
- In the Password field, type the password
associated with the user ID.
- 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.
|
- Click Use existing data source.
- Use the drop-down menu to specify the data source you want to use.
|
New data source |
- 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.
- In the Database properties field,
enter any custom properties required by the SCA system bus data source.
|
- Specify the configuration for the SCA application bus, as follows.

- Click Use existing data source.
- Use the drop-down menu to specify the data source you want to use.
|
New data source |
- 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.
- In the Database properties field,
enter any custom properties required by the SCA application bus data source.
|
- 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.
What to do next
- If you are planning to use business processes defined with the Business
Process Execution Language (BPEL) on this cluster or server, you must also
use the Business Process Container wizard to perform the necessary configuration.
- If you are planning to use applications that contain human tasks or if
you plan to use the Business Process Choreographer Explorer in this cluster
or server, you must also use the Human Task Container wizard to perform the
necessary configuration.
