Configure the members of a bus
Use the administrative console to add, remove, and list the members of a bus.
Subtopics
- Add a server as a new bus member
The members of a service integration bus are the application servers and clusters within which messaging engines for that bus can run. When we add a new bus member, you configure its message store, which is either a file store or a data store.
- Add a cluster as a member of a bus
We can add a server cluster as a member of a service integration bus so that it can use the bus to communicate. When a cluster is added to the bus, all servers in the cluster are added to it, and at least one messaging engine is created. The members of a service integration bus are the application servers and clusters within which messaging engines for that bus can run.
- Modify the messaging engine policy for a cluster bus member
We can change the messaging engine policy for a cluster bus member that is already configured, and change the number of messaging engines and their behavior so that they conform with the new messaging engine policy.
- Add a WebSphere MQ server as a member of a bus
A WebSphere MQ server represents a WebSphere MQ queue manager or (for WebSphere MQ for z/OS ) queue-sharing group. A WebSphere MQ server bus member is used as a bus member for assigning queue points and mediation points to WebSphere MQ queues.
- Listing the members of a bus
We can display a list of servers, server clusters, and WebSphere MQ servers that have been added as members of a bus.
- Remove a member from a bus
We can remove an application server, or a server cluster, from a bus so that it is no longer used to process messages.
- Disable the service integration service
The SIB Service, which provides messaging capability, is enabled automatically when we add a server to a service integration bus. If required, we can disable service integration bus functions when the application server starts.
