A service integration bus link is a link between a messaging engine in the local bus and a messaging engine in a foreign bus. The messaging engine in the foreign bus must also have a service integration bus link to the local bus. For a connection to be active, the service integration bus links at both ends must be started.

Bootstrap endpoints

The comma-separated list of endpoints used to connect to a bootstrap server.

This property is set in the same way as the Provider endpoint property in the JMS connection factory settings.

The port for the bootstrap endpoint is the port defined on the SIB endpoint address that is configured on the target application server on the foreign bus.

Required No
Data type drop-down list

Initial state

Whether the link is started automatically when the messaging engine is started.

The service integration bus link is started when the messaging engine is started.
Required No
Data type drop-down list
Range
Stopped
When the associated messaging engine is started, the gateway link is in a stopped state and cannot process any new requests for connections.

Started
When the associated messaging engine is started, the gateway link is in a started state and can process any new requests for connections.

Runtime tab

Runtime properties for this object. These properties directly affect the current runtime environment, but are not preserved when that environment is stopped. To preserve runtime property values, change the equivalent property values on the Configuration tab. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.

General properties

Status

The run-time status of the service integration bus link.

The following combination of Status and Activity values are possible:
Status Activity Meaning
started inactive The service integration bus link is started on the local messaging engine but has no connection to the foreign bus. Theservice integration bus link is attempting to activate a connection to the foreign bus. The service integration bus link on the foreign bus must also be started to enable the successful activation of a connection between the buses.
started active The service integration bus link is started on the local messaging engine and has an active connection to the foreign bus.
stopped inactive The service integration bus link is stopped on the local messaging engine and there is no connection to the foreign bus.
unknown inactive The deployment manager cannot contact a remote server to determine the status.
Required No
Data type drop-down list
