Bus members [Settings]
Bus members are the servers, IBM MQ servers and clusters that have been added to the bus.
To view this page in the console, click the following path:
Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Bus members -> bus_member_name.
Use this pane to view or change messaging engine settings when we are using messaging engine policy assistance.
We can change the currently selected messaging engine policy assistance, view the configuration diagram for the cluster, undertake further messaging engine configuration steps using the links available in Additional Properties, or disable messaging engine policy assistance.
Configuration tab
The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted.
General Properties

Enable messaging engine policy assistance
A value that shows whether messaging engine policy assistance is set for the server cluster. This option is always selected when we first view this pane. To disable messaging engine policy assistance, deselect this option. The list of messaging engine policy assistance types and the configuration diagram are no longer displayed.
Policy name
Currently selected messaging engine policy assistance type for the server cluster. To change the selection, click the required radio button in the Select column, then click Apply or OK. For each messaging engine policy assistance type, except Custom, the Is further configuration required? column shows No if the number of messaging engines and their behavior are correctly configured. Otherwise, this column shows one or more messages with suggested actions to achieve the number of messaging engines and the required messaging engine behavior for each messaging engine policy assistance type. A diagram shows the servers, the currently configured messaging engines, and an indication of messaging engine behavior in the cluster. It also shows any changes required to support the currently selected messaging engine policy assistance type.
Additional Properties
- Messaging engines
- View or change the messaging engines in this cluster. For example, we can add, remove, start or stop a messaging engine.
- Messaging engine policy maintenance
- View or correct the policy settings for the messaging engines in this cluster, that is, the settings that affect messaging engine behavior.
- Redundant core group policies
- View or delete any core group policies associated with this cluster, but that are not associated with any messaging engine in this cluster. When we use messaging engine policy assistance, we do not have to create or manage core group policies directly. A redundant core group policy might occur if messaging engine policy assistance is not enabled and you remove a messaging engine without deleting its associated core group policy, or create a core group policy that is not associated with a messaging engine.
