We can remove an application server from a bus so that it is no longer used to process messages.
- When you remove a member from a bus, all messaging engines on that bus member are also deleted and their associated messages are discarded. If you add the same bus member again, first manually delete the old data source for the messaging engines to ensure that once the new messaging engines are created, they can restart.
- If you remove a member from a bus, and it is the only member for that server, you must also disable the SIB Service at server start up.
To remove a member from a bus, use the dmgr console to complete the following steps:
- In the navigation pane, click Service integration -> Buses. A list of buses is displayed in the content pane.
- In the content pane, select the bus from which to remove the member.
- In the content pane, under Topology, click Bus members. A list of members in the bus is displayed.
- Select the bus member to remove.
- Click Remove.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
Results
The member is removed from the bus. All the messaging engines on that bus member and the core group policies associated with those messaging engines are deleted.
If we have removed the only bus member for a server, you must now disable the SIB Service at server start up.
