Configure the core group bridge service
Overview
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.
Configure two or more core groups that need to communicate with each other. For more information about core groups, see Core groups. To configure core groups, see
You must configure the core group bridge service whenever two or more core groups are configured in the same cell. We 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 WAS 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.
Steps for this task (dependent on configuration)
- Configure core group communication between core groups that are in the same cell. Configuring communication between any core groups that are in the same cell is required. For more information, see Configuring communication between core groups that are in the same cell.
- Configure core group communication between core groups that are in different cells. One can configure each cell to communicate with one or more other cells. For more information, see Configuring communication between core groups that are in different cells.
- Configure communication between core groups using a proxy peer access point. Sometimes, your core group might not have access to the core group that you want to communicate with. However, if one can access a core group that can communicate with the inaccessible core group, one can create a proxy peer access point. For more information, see Configuring core group communication using a proxy peer access point.
Result
Multiple core groups can communicate with each other.
What to do next
Continue configuring the high availability environment. See Setting up a high availability environment for more information.
