Configuring a server or cluster to use remote destinations for mediation modules

For mediation modules, a cluster or server can be configured so that the queue destinations are created on a different server or cluster.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, you must have already created one or more servers or server clusters required:

You can use the same server or cluster in both cases.

Why and when to perform this task

When you install a mediation module into WebSphere ESB, a number of queue destinations are created for components of the mediation module that use asynchronous interactions. The queue destinations are used by the SCA runtime to hold messages being processed for the mediation module.

You can configure your servers and clusters so that the queue destinations are created on the server or server cluster that the mediation module is deployed to, or on a different server or cluster.

Note: You must complete this task before the server or cluster can be used to deploy mediation modules that want their queue destinations hosted elsewhere. Alternatively, you can configure the server or cluster to host the queue destinations, as described in Configuring a server or cluster to host queue destinations for mediation modules.

A server or cluster that does not host the queue destinations for mediation modules can be optimized to run other components, and does not have to be a member of the SCA.SYSTEM bus.

This configuration task defines that the server or cluster uses queue destinations created on a different server or cluster. This configuration does not add the server or cluster as a member of the SCA.SYSTEM bus

To configure a server or cluster to use queue destinations created on a different server or cluster, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Display the Advanced Configuration page for the server or cluster.
    • To configure a server: Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Advanced Configuration
    • To configure a cluster: Servers > Clusters > cluster_name > Advanced Configuration
  2. Verify the value in the Emitter Factory Profile JNDI Name field.
    • If you want to change the default configuration for emitting events to the CEI server, select the appropriate emitter factory profile JNDI name from the field. In a clustered environment, the value you select is used for all servers in the cluster.
    • If you do not want to specify an emitter factory profile (thus preserving an existing CEI configuration), select None from the menu.
  3. Clear the Do not configure to host Process Server applications option.
  4. Configure the Remote Destination Location option for the server or cluster:
    1. Click Remote Destination Location.
    2. Use the associated menu to select the name of the remote server or cluster that hosts queue destinations for mediation modules.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Save your changes to the master configuration.

What to do next

If you deploy a mediation module to this server or cluster, the queue destinations for the mediation module are configured on the server or cluster specified by the Remote Destination Location property.

You can change the configuration of the server or cluster, add it as a member of a service integration bus, or take other actions to manage the server or cluster.
