Configure a mediation point

Use the administrative console to browse or change the configuration properties for a selected mediation point for a selected bus destination.

We must first create a mediation point on a bus destination. See Mediating a destination.

A mediation point is a specialized message point on a bus location where messages are stored and mediated. Configuring the properties of a mediation point enables us to control some aspects of how messages are sent to and received from a bus destination. In this task we use the administrative console to configure the properties for a selected mediation point for a selected bus destination.

We should be aware that the mediation point properties Send allowed and Initial state override the general properties defined for the bus destination.

To browse or change the properties for a selected mediation point, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Tasks

1. Start the administrative console, and click Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Messaging engines -> engine_name -> [Message points] Mediation points -> mediation_point_name. The properties for the selected mediation point are displayed.

2. Optional: Browse or change the following properties for the mediation point:

   Identifier

   The identifier by which this message point is known for administrative purposes. This field is for display purposes only.

   UUID

   The universal unique identifier assigned to this mediation point for administrative purposes. This field is for display purposes only.

   High message threshold

   The maximum total number of messages that can be placed on this mediation point. This field is for display purposes only.

   Send allowed

   This property specifies whether messages are sent to this mediation point. By default, True is selected, and messages are sent to this mediation point. Select False to prevent messages from being sent to this mediation point.

   Initial state

   This property specifies the state of the mediation point when the host messaging engine is started for the first time. Permitted values are Started or Stopped. The default state is Started. The mediation does not start mediating messages until Initial state is Started.

   Target UUID

   The UUID of the bus destination where this mediation point is created. This field is for display purposes only.

3. Click OK.

4. Save changes to the master configuration.

We have browsed or changed the configuation properties for the selected mediation point.
