This section discusses how to set up and configure a bus using the console.

The following specific activities are described:

• SIB service configuration
• Creating a bus
• Configure bus properties
• Enabling bus security
• Adding a bus member
• Creating a queue destination
• Creating a topic space destination
• Creating an alias destination
• Adding messaging engines to a cluster
• Setting up preferred servers
• Setting up a foreign bus link to a service integration bus
• Setting up a foreign bus link to an MQ queue manager
• Creating a foreign destination

When configuring the bus for use with the default messaging provider, the minimum tasks that apply are:

1. Creation and configuration of a bus (optionally including security)
2. The addition of at least one bus member
3. The definition of destinations of one variety or another

When configuring the bus to communicate with WebSphere MQ, you can set up a WebSphere MQ link through a foreign bus, or, where MQ is on a z/OS platform, a WebSphere MQ Server. The minimum tasks for both appear below:

To use a WebSphere MQ link:

1. Create and configure a bus.
2. Add at least one bus member and any required destinations.
3. Set up a foreign bus link to an MQ queue manager.
4. Add alias destinations that points to the MQ queues via the MQ link foreign bus.

To use a WebSphere MQ Server

1. Create and configure a bus.
2. Create a WebSphere MQ Server definition and add it to the bus as a member.
3. Create one or more queue destinations that correspond to the MQ queues.
4. Add at least one other bus member and any other destinations.

In the following instructions, we frequently suggest saving the changes. You do not have to do this and can make several changes before saving.
