Use this task to create a service integration bus.
To create a bus with a bus member use the administrative console to complete the following steps:
- Add a bus. See Adding a bus.
- Add a member to the bus. Choose
one of the following approaches:
- Adding a server as a member of a bus. This
creates a messaging engine with default properties and that uses the default
JDBC data source and Cloudscape JDBC Provider for its data store.
- Adding a server cluster as a member of a bus. This
creates a messaging engine for the cluster, with default properties. You must
configure a data store that is accessible from every server that can potentially
run the messaging engine.
- Optional: If required, configure the messaging engine.
See Configuring messaging engine properties.
- Optional: If required, configure the data store for
the messaging engine. Choose one of the following
approaches:
- For a messaging engine in an application server, you can change the data
store configuration. You could do this, for example, if you want to use DB2
rather than Cloudscape as the database system. For more information about
changing the data store configuration, see Configuring a JDBC data source.
- For a messaging engine in a server cluster, configure the data store.
For more information about configuring the data store for a messaging engine
in a cluster, see Configuring a data source for a messaging engine running in a cluster.
- or,
if the member you added was a cluster, restart the eligible servers in the
cluster. The messaging engine starts when the server
starts.
A new bus has been created.
You can now change the configuration of the bus; for example, by
adding additional members, creating bus destinations, and by creating links
to WebSphere MQ networks. You can create other buses and, if required, connect
them together.
