Buses

Use this page to view the configuration properties of a service integration bus. Service integration buses support applications using message-based and service-oriented architectures. A bus is a group of interconnected servers and clusters, called bus members. Applications connect to a bus at one of the messaging engines associated with its bus members.

Note: Clusters can be used as bus members only in a deployment environment that supports server clusters.

Name

The name of the service integration bus. Each bus has a unique name.

UUID

The universal unique identifier assigned by the system to this bus for administrative purposes.

Description

An optional description for the bus.

Inter-engine transport chain

The transport chain used for communication between the messaging engines in this bus. The default value is InboundBasicMessaging.

The transport chain corresponds to one of the transport chains defined in the server's messaging engine inbound transports setting. All servers automatically have a number of transport chains defined to them; it is also possible to create new transport chains.

Discard messages

The option to retain messages on a deleted message point. If this option is selected, messages are retained at a system exception destination; otherwise, they are discarded.

Configuration reload enabled

The option to enable certain changes to the bus configuration to be applied without having to restart the messaging engines.

High message threshold

The threshold above which the messaging system takes action to limit the addition of more messages to a message point.

When a messaging engine is created on the bus, the value of this property is used to set the default high message threshold for the messaging engine.
