When a service integration bus link to a messaging engine has been removed, it cannot be used for communication until it is recreated.
Before you remove the service integration bus link stop the link.
When you remove a service integration bus link, all traffic that uses the link needs to be dealt with in a similar way to when we remove a destination. For further details, see Delete a non-topic space bus destination. Note that express Quality of Service (QoS) messages are discarded. To remove a service integration bus link from a messaging engine, use the dmgr console to complete the following steps:
- Display the list of messaging engines.
- In the content pane, select the messaging engine associated with the service integration bus link to remove.
- In the content pane, under Additional properties, click Service integration bus links. A list of service integration bus links is displayed.
- Select the service integration bus link to remove.
- Click Delete.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
When you remove a service integration bus link, all traffic that uses the link must be diverted by alternative routes or held pending further administrative action. Express QoS messages are discarded.
