A transport chain consists of channels, each of which supports a different type of I/O protocol, such as TCP or HTTP.

Network ports can be shared among all of the channels within a transport chain. The channel framework function automatically distributes a request arriving on that port to the correct I/O protocol channel for processing.

All channels sharing a port should have the same discrimination weight.

Configure transport chains to provide networking services for functions such as...

To create a transport chain...

  1. Go to...

    Servers | Server Types | WebSphere application servers | server_name

    ...or...

    Servers | Server Types | WebSphere proxy servers | server_name

  2. For appservers, select one of the following...

  3. For proxy servers, select...

    HTTP proxy server | Proxy server transports | [HTTPS_PROXY_CHAIN | HTTP_PROXY_CHAIN] | HTTP proxy inbound channel

  4. Click New. The Create New Transport Chain wizard initializes.

  5. Specify a name for the new chain.

  6. Select a transport chain template

  7. Select a port, if one is available to which the new transport chain is bound.

    If a port is not available or you want to define a new port, specify...

    • Port name
    • Host name or IP address for the port
    • Port number

    For TCP channels, the wizard displays a list of configured TCP channels and a list of the ports that the listed TCP channels are not using. Select one of the ports that none of the other TCP channels are using.

    For UDP channels, the wizard displays a list of already configured UDP channels and a list of the ports that these UDP channels are not using. Select one of the ports that none of the other UDP channels are using.

    When you click Finish, the new transport chain is added to the list of defined transport chains on the Transport chain panel.

  8. Click the name of a transport chain to view the settings that are in effect for the transport channels contained in that chain.

    To change any of these settings...

    1. Click the name of the channel whose settings we need to change.

    2. Change the settings.

      Some of the settings, such as the port number, are determined by what is specified for the transport chain when it is created and cannot be changed.

    3. Click on Custom properties to set any custom properties defined for the system.

  9. When you the configuration changes, click OK.

  10. Stop the appserver and start it again.

    You must stop the appserver and start it again before the changes take effect.

Update any routines we have that issue a call to start transports during server startup. When a routine issues a call to start transports during server startup, WAS converts the call to a transport channel call.
