Configure path services

A path service is a persistent map that can be used to store the mapping of a group of messages to a messaging resource, such as a member of a distributed destination or a store-and-forward agent. It provides a way to enforce message ordering by pinning messages to a member of a cluster hosting servlets, distributed queue members, or store-and-forward agents.

The main steps for configuring a path service are:

1. Configure custom persistent stores.

   The default persistent file store requires no additional configuration. However, if you require a custom file store or JDBC store to suit your specific needs, you need to create the custom store before creating a path service.

2. Create the cluster, distributed destination, or store-and-forward agents required.

   • Configure clusters

   • Configure JMS system modules and add JMS resources

   • Configure Store-and-Forward

3. Create path services.

4. If you skipped the targeting step when you created a path service, or want to modify the current targeting parameters, you can do so at anytime. You can retarget a path service to a different cluster member or migratable target. Migratable targets define a set of WebLogic Server instances in a cluster that can potentially host a pinned service, such as a path service. See Change path service targets.

   Note: A recommended best practice is to target a path service to a migratable target, so that a member server will not be a single point of failure. A path service can also be automatically migrated from an unhealthy server instance to a healthy server instance, with the help of the server health monitoring services.
