SCA bindings

A Service Component Architecture binding lets a service communicate with other services in other modules. An import with an SCA binding lets you access a service in another SCA module. An export with an SCA binding lets you offer a service to other modules.

You use IBM Integration Designer to generate and configure SCA bindings on imports and exports in SCA modules.

If modules are running on the same server or are deployed in the same cluster, an SCA binding is the easiest and fastest binding to use.

After the module that contains the SCA binding is deployed to the server, you can use the administrative console to view information about the binding or, in the case of an import binding, to change selected properties of the binding.
