This page provides a starting point for finding information about service integration.
Service integration provides asynchronous messaging services. In asynchronous messaging, producing applications do not send messages directly to consuming applications. Instead, they send messages to destinations. Consuming applications receive messages from these destinations. A producing application can send a message and then continue processing without waiting until a consuming application receives the message. If necessary, the destination stores the message until the consuming application is ready to receive it.
Subtopics
- Enable service integration notification events
We can monitor your service integration environment using notification events.- Administer service integration buses
Application servers or clusters of application servers in a WebSphere Application Server cell can cooperate to provide asynchronous messaging services. Service integration provides asynchronous messaging services, and a group of servers or clusters that cooperate in this way is called a service integration bus. Each of the cooperating servers or clusters is made a member of the bus. In the simplest case, a service integration bus consists of a single bus member, which is one application server.- Administer messaging engines
These topics provide information about messaging engines, which provide the processing function on a service integration bus.- Administer message stores
A message store enables a messaging engine to preserve operating information and to retain those objects that messaging engines need for recovery in the event of a failure. The default message store for a typical messaging engine is file store. We can also configure a messaging engine to use a data store.- Administer bus destinations
Configure service integration bus destinations, so that applications can attach to them to exchange messages as producers, consumers, or both.- Administer mediations
These topics provide information about mediations, used to change how messages are handled at destinations on a service integration bus.
