The physical link (also known as the routing type) between buses can be one of the following types:
- A service integration bus link from a messaging engine in the local bus to a messaging engine in the foreign bus.
- A WebSphere MQ
link from a messaging engine in the local bus to a WebSphere MQ gateway queue manager. To the local bus the linked WebSphere MQ network appears as a foreign bus.
- An indirect link, which is a link that is made through one or more intermediate foreign buses.
- Name
- The name of the bus with which this bus will exchange messages. This name must match exactly the name of the existing service integration bus defined as the foreign bus.
- Route type
- Route type defines the type of link used to make the connection to the foreign bus. Use a service integration bus link for a connection to a foreign service integration bus, a WebSphere MQ link for a connection to a foreign WebSphere MQ network, or an indirect routing if the connection to the foreign bus is via another foreign bus.
- Description
- An optional description for the foreign bus, for administrative purposes.
- Configuration Status
- Indicates that the configuration was deleted with remaining runtime data. Select this foreign bus connection (by clicking the Name column) to resolve the remaining runtime data.
