WebSphere WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.0.1 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows

Server and bus features of the administrative interfaces

WebSphere ESB allows you to view and change aspects of a server and bus environment from the administrative console, and from the command line.

Servers > Application servers
This set of pages provides access to ESB servers, which are application servers created from a special template for an enterprise service bus.

The ESB server provides the integration technologies, infrastructure services, configuration, and runtime administration needed to run mediation modules and service applications in WebSphere ESB. As a bus member, the server has a messaging engine that provides the core messaging functionality of a service integration bus. A messaging engine manages bus resources and provides a connection point for service requesters.

The detail settings page for a server provides access to the service integration properties under the Server messaging category label, including messaging engines, messaging engine inbound transports, and WebSphere MQ link inbound transports.

Service integration > Buses
This set of pages provides access to the service integration technologies of WebSphere Application Server, which are used in the deployment of mediation modules (and other SCA modules).

Each service integration bus provides a scope within which you can configure resources for mediation modules and interaction endpoints deployed in WebSphere ESB. The bus enables message routing between endpoints with specific quality of interaction service and can temporarily persist messages if required.

When you install WebSphere ESB, two service integration buses are created for you. These service integration buses, with names starting SCA, are for you to deploy SCA modules. When you install a mediation module into WebSphere ESB, the module is deployed onto a member of the service integration bus called SCA.SYSTEM.cell_name.Bus, and a set of bus destinations are created on a member of that bus.

The detail settings page for a bus provides access to service integration resources under a number of category labels, including bus destinations through [Destination resources] Destinations.
