Use this task to configure match criteria to associate a policy
with a messaging engine.
To complete this task you must have created a policy to associate
with the messaging engine.
Each
messaging engine is
managed by an
HAGroup to which
a policy is assigned at runtime. The policy assigned to an
HAGroup is
chosen by comparing the match criteria of the set of configured policies with
the properties of the
HAGroup.
The policy with the strongest match is assigned to the
HAGroup.
The table below lists the names and values of the
HAGroup properties
for a
messaging engine, and the set
of matching
messaging engines if
a property is used in the policy match criteria:
Name |
Value |
The messaging engine or
engines that the policy will match |
type |
WSAF_SIB |
Any messaging engine |
WSAF_SIB_MESSAGING_ENGINE |
The name of your messaging engine.
This will be in the form node.server-bus for a messaging
engine in a server, or cluster.number-bus for a messaging engine in
a cluster, where number relates to the order that messaging engines were
added to the bus (the messaging engine that
is created automatically when you add the cluster to a bus has the number
000). |
A particular messaging engine |
WSAF_SIB_BUS |
The name of your bus |
All messaging engines in
a particular bus |
IBM_hc |
The name of your cluster |
All messaging engines in
a particular cluster |
For more information about match criteria for
messaging engines,
see
Match criteria for service integration.
- If not already open, open the policy page by clicking .
- Create a new match criterion by clicking .
The Name and Value fields
together specify a messaging engine or
group of messaging engines that will
be linked to this policy. Use the information in the table above to find the
required name and value for the selection you want.
For more description
of the fields on this page, see Match criteria settings. For more information
about finding the correct names for match criteria, see Core group settings
- You can add more criteria to progressively restrict the set of HAGroups that the policy could
match. For example you could specify all the messaging engines that
are both on a particular bus and in a particular cluster by using the relevant
pair of criteria.
