Service Component Architecture

Servers and clusters can support Service Component Architecture (SCA) applications, application destinations, or both. Use the Service Component Architecture console page to enable a server or cluster in a network deployment environment to host service applications, their required messaging engines and destinations, or both.

SCA applications (also called service applications) require the use of one or more of the automatically created service integration buses. Each application uses a set of messaging resources, which are called destinations. These destinations require configured messaging engines, and they can be hosted on the same server or cluster as the application or on a remote server or cluster. Messaging engines typically use database data sources; note that a file store can be used in place of a database data source in a stand-alone server profile if that option was selected during profile creation.
