Viewing the service integration bus
Use the Service Integration Bus browser on the administrative console to view the service integration bus.
Make sure you understand how the Service Component Architecture (SCA) system bus is used.
The Service Integration Bus Browser provides a single location for browsing and performing day-to-day operational tasks on service integration buses.
Viewing the service integration bus is a useful way to determine if messages are accumulating on the SCA Module destinations.
The accumulation of messages on the SCA Module destinations is a strong indication that there maybe a performance problem or an application defect.
It is a good idea to periodically view the messages and determine if there are any messages have become locked for an extended duration of time as this may indicate that there are "indoubt transactions".
Procedure
- From the administrative console, expand Service integration.
- Select Buses.
- Select the appropriate messaging bus for the service.
For example, for a messaging bus that is named SCA.System.cleanup1cell01.bus, the name of the cell would be, cleanup1cell01.
- Select Destinations.
- Review the relevant information. You should look at the destinations named sca/XYZ, where XYZ is the name of the module.
- Select the link text for the destination that you are interested
in viewing.
This will link you to a general properties page for the destination that you want to view.
- From the general properties page of the destination, select the Queue points.
- From the Queue points page, select the link for the message point.
- Select the Runtime tab.
From this screen you can see the current message “depth” and the threshold.
Selecting the Messages link lets you view the message contents.
Ideally, use an appropriate IT monitoring tool and set alert thresholds for these destinations.
The threshold value would be established during the performance test phase for the application.
Messages on a production system should never be deleted unless explicitly directed to do so by the SCA L3 team.
