Creating a topic space for publish/subscribe messaging

Use this task to create a new topic space for publish/subscribe messaging.

To create a topic space, you need to specify only a minimum set of required properties; you can change these and other properties after you have completed this task.

To create a topic space, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service integration > Buses
  2. In the content pane, click the name of the bus that is to provide the publication points for the topic space.
  3. In the content pane, under Additional Properties, click Destinations. This displays any existing destinations in the content pane.
  4. To create a topic space, click New in the content pane.
    1. On the Create New Destination page, select the Topic space option.
    2. Click Next.
    3. In the Identifier field, type the name that you want to give the topic space for administrative purposes.
  5. Optional: Specify the following properties for the topic space:
    Description
    An optional description of the topic space, for administrative purposes.
    Maximum reliability
    The maximum reliability of messages accepted by this destination.
    Best effort nonpersistent

    For non-transactional JMS message-driven beans and MessageListeners that use a JMS destination configured on the default messaging provider, best-effort nonpersistent messages are not recoverable. In this case, if a message is unlocked because the message-driven bean or MessageListener threw an exception, then the message is not redelivered or sent to the exception destination because it was deleted from the message store when it was passed to the listener. If you require higher message reliability for non-transactional JMS message-driven beans and MessageListeners, configure a different option for the Maximum reliability property of the bus destination.

    Express nonpersistent
    Reliable nonpersistent
    Reliable persistent
    Assured persistent
  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Confirm Topic space creation page, review the summary of actions.
    • To create the topic space, click Finish.
    • If you want to change any of the properties that you have specified, click Previous, then change the properties on the preceding pages.
  8. Save your changes to the master configuration.
If you want to change properties of the topic space, see Configuring bus destination properties.

By default, messages that cannot be delivered to the topic space are sent the default exception destination for the messaging engine that is publishing the message. If you want to use a non-default exception destination for messages that cannot be delivered to this topic space, you must have already defined that exception destination. For more information about configuring exception destinations, see Configuring an exception bus destination.

If the topic space is to be used for JMS publish/subscribe messaging, specify the topic space identifier on a JMS topic as described in Configuring a JMS topic, default messaging provider.
