List and managing gateway-deployed channels

Use this task to list the channels that are deployed to the Web services gateway, and modify their deployment details. To list the channels that are currently deployed to the Web services gateway, and view and modify their deployment details, complete the following steps:

 

  1. Display the Web services gateway administrative user interface.

  2. In the navigation pane, click the following link:

    Channels

    • List
    The main pane is updated with a list of all the channels that are deployed to the Web services gateway.

  3. Click the name of a channel in the list. A form is displayed through which you can view and modify the current deployment details for this channel.

  4. Modify the following deployment details:

     

    Home Location

    Type the name of the new home for this channel.

     

    End Point Address

    Type the new address on which the channel is to listen.

    Note: For a channel running on an application server that is not part of a cluster, this is the address for accessing the channel through the associated HTTP server. For a channel running on an appserver that is part of a cluster, this address is in two parts (separated by a comma):

    • The address for accessing the channel through the associated HTTP server.

    • The address for accessing the channel through the particular application server on which the channel application is running.

  5. (Optional)  

    If this channel is intended to be used to receive asynchronous reply messages, type appropriate values in the following two fields. Otherwise leave them blank.

    Note: If the channel supports asynchronous messaging, then the deployment details documentation for the channel should indicate what values to enter in these fields.

     

    Async Reply Context Name

     

    Async Reply Context Value

  6. To start this channel, enable the YES radio button. To stop this channel, enable the NO radio button.

  7. Click Apply changes.
