Workload sharing

We can configure multiple service integration messaging engines to distribute workload across multiple application servers. This allows us to scale out the system to handle larger workloads.

Subtopics

• Workload sharing with queue destinations
  If we add a server cluster to a service integration bus and deploy one or more messaging engines to the cluster, we can configure the cluster bus member for scalability. The messaging engines in the cluster bus member share the messaging workload associated with queue destinations deployed to the cluster.

• Workload sharing with publish/subscribe messaging
  In publish/subscribe messaging, the messaging system sends one copy of every published message to each matching subscription. Subscribers, that is, applications that consume publish/subscribe messages, consume those messages from an individual subscription. To balance workload across multiple instances of an application, for example when an application runs in a server cluster, all instances of the application must use the same subscription.
