Mediation application installation

A mediation application is an enterprise application (EAR file) containing a mediation handler enterprise bean project. Installing the EAR file into WebSphere Application Server (base) makes the mediation handler available for use at a destination.

We must install the EAR file on every server on which we intend the mediation to run, taking into account the following:

• If we intend the mediation to mediate a topic, install the mediation on every server that has a messaging engine.

• If we add a new member to the bus after we have mediated a topic, install the mediation on the new bus member.

• If we are installing on a queue, install the EAR file on the queue point. For a partitioned queue, install the EAR file on the cluster.

Install a mediation application on a secure server

If we are installing a mediation application for use when WAS security is enabled, ensure that the messaging engine can access the mediation. See Ensuring the message engine can access mediations.
