WAS v8.5 > Administer applications and their environment > Welcome to administering Service integrationAdminister mediations
These topics provide information about mediations, used to change how messages are handled at destinations on a service integration bus.
Subtopics
- Secure mediations
Use the following tasks to secure mediations at an operations level. For example, a mediation inherits its identity from a the messaging engine, but you might want to specify an alternative identity for the mediation to use.- Configure mediations
Use the following tasks to modify the behavior of a mediation, control which messages are mediated, or influence how messages are processed.- Configure mediation points
In service integration technologies, messages are held at specialized message points called mediation points before they are processed by a mediation. Use the following tasks to set properties at mediation points to route messages and start and stop mediations:- Manage mediations with administrative commands
We can use wsadmin commands to administer service integration technologies mediations. For example we can create, delete and view mediations, configure mediation properties and mediate destinations.- Operating mediations at mediation points
Use these tasks to start, stop and restart mediations at runtime at specialized message points called mediation points.- Administer messages on mediation points
Use these tasks to list and delete runtime messages held at mediation points in a service integration bus.- Example: Using mediations to trace, monitor and log messages
The most straightforward use of a mediation is for tracing, monitoring or logging messages that pass through a destination or topics spaces. This type of mediation does not modify the message; it only extracts information from the message and saves or displays the information elsewhere.
