Configure the properties of a service integration bus link
After establishing a service integration bus link we might want to configure the properties of a service integration bus link such as the name of the service integration bus link, or authentication alias used by foreign bus that the link connects to.
To configure the properties of a service integration bus link, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:
Tasks
- Display the list of messaging engines.
- In the content pane, select the messaging engine for which we want to configure the service integration bus link.
- 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 configure.
- Specify the following properties for the service integration bus link:
- Name
- The name of the service integration bus link. In order to work, the name must be the same as the name of the corresponding service integration bus link configured on the target foreign bus.
- Description
- An optional description for the service integration bus link, for administrative purposes.
- UUID
- The universal unique identifier assigned by the system to the service integration bus link for administrative purposes.
- Foreign messaging engine
- The messaging engine on the foreign bus to which this link connects.
This foreign bus name must not be altered after it has been configured. If we alter it, any messaging engines that already hold state information on the link will not be able to use the link unless the foreign bus name is reset to its original value.
- Target inbound transport chain
- The type of transport chain used for communication with the foreign bus. The transport chain name must be the name of the transport chain as defined on the server on which the target messaging engine is hosted.
- Bootstrap endpoints
- The comma-separated list of endpoints used to connect to a bootstrap server. Set in the same way as the Provider endpoint property in the JMS connection factory settings. See steps relating to setting bootstrap endpoints in Configure a connection to a non-default bootstrap server.
Service integration bus links over BootstrapTunneledMessaging and BootstrapTunneledSecureMessaging transport chains only work directly between application server instances. Bus links over TunneledMessaging transport chains do not work if an HTTP server is placed in front of either application server instance.
- Authentication alias
- The name of the authentication alias, used to authenticate access to the foreign bus. The alias must be known to the foreign bus.
- Initial state
- Whether the link is started automatically when the messaging engine is started. Until started, the gateway link is unavailable. If this property is set to Started the service integration bus link is started when the messaging engine is started.
- Click OK.
- Save changes to the master configuration.
