Remove a foreign bus connection from a bus
We can remove a foreign bus connection from a bus so that the connection can no longer be used for sending and receiving messages.
When a foreign bus connection is deleted from the configuration, the next time the hosting messaging engine for a link transmitter is started, the messaging engine moves the messages to the exception destination. To avoid this situation, drain the messages from the link transmitter queue as far as is possible and then, before deleting the link configuration, either move any remaining messages from the transmission queues to an exception destination, or delete them. For more details, refer to the subtopics that follow.
Remove a foreign bus connection from a bus removes the resources associated with the connection. The bus will no longer service the deleted link.
- In the navigation pane, click Service integration -> Buses.
- In the Buses pane, select the bus from which to remove the foreign connection.
- In the configuration tab, under Topology, click Foreign bus connections to display a list of connections for this bus.
- Select the check box that corresponds to the connection to remove.
- Click Delete.
- Save the changes to the master configuration.
Results
You have now deleted the foreign bus connection from a bus. This connection can no longer be used for communication.
