WAS v8.5 > Administer applications and their environment > Welcome to administering Service integration > Administer service integration buses > Configure busesCreate a bus
When creating a service integration bus, you add a new bus in the dmgr console, and then add one or more servers or server clusters as bus members. Thereafter, you administer the bus, and its constituent bus members, as a single unit.
We can create a bus using the dmgr console. Wizards are provided to help add a secured bus, and add a member to the bus. A messaging engine is created for most types of bus member, and you are prompted to specify a data store. The exception is WebSphere MQ server where, because a messaging engine is not created, a message store is not required.
- Add a secured bus or an unsecured bus.
- Add a member to the bus.
This creates a messaging engine with default properties.
- Optional: Configure the messaging engine.
- Optional: Configure the message store for the messaging engine
- Change the file store configuration.
- Restart the server. The messaging engine starts when the server starts.
Results
A new bus is created.
We can now change the configuration of the bus; for example, by adding additional members, by creating bus destinations, and by creating links to WebSphere MQ networks. We can create other buses and, if required, connect them together.
