Configure destination defaults for a foreign bus connection
We can configure default values to apply when applications use destinations on a foreign bus and these properties are not explicitly defined elsewhere. You configure the destination defaults for the foreign bus connection, which represents either a service integration bus or a WebSphere MQ queue manager or queue-sharing group (known as a "gateway queue manager"). To configure destination defaults for a foreign bus, at least one foreign bus connection that represents that foreign bus must be defined. Destination defaults are default values for the destination attributes, such as the default priority. They are used when an application produces messages that are destined for a destination on a foreign bus, but the properties are not defined elsewhere:
- The application has not explicitly set certain attributes on the message.
- A foreign destination is not defined on the local bus, so cannot be a source of destination defaults.
- An alias destination is not defined on the local bus, so cannot be a source of destination defaults.
You configure destination defaults for a foreign bus connection to apply to all applicable destinations on the corresponding foreign bus. In contrast, the destination defaults of an alias destination or foreign destination apply to an individual destination on a foreign bus.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, click Service integration -> Buses .
- In the service integration buses pane, select the bus to configure.
- In the configuration tab, under Topology, click Foreign bus connections. A list of foreign bus connections is displayed.
- Select the foreign bus connection to configure.
- In the content pane, under Additional properties, click Destination defaults.
- Specify the following properties for the destination defaults:
- Default priority
- The default priority assigned to messages sent to this destination when a priority has not been set by the producer.
- Default reliability
- The reliability assigned to a message produced to this destination when an explicit reliability has not been set by the producer.
- Maximum reliability
- The maximum reliability of messages accepted by this destination.
- Send allowed
- Clear this option (setting it to false) to stop producers from being able to send messages to destinations on this foreign bus.
- Enable producers to override default reliability
- Select this option to enable producers to override the default reliability that is set on the destination.
- Include an RFH2 message header when sending messages to WebSphere MQ.
- If selected, messages sent to WebSphere MQ include an RFH2 header. The RFH2 header stores additional information to that which is stored in the WebSphere MQ message header.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
