A bus is a way of interconnecting machines so that they
can be treated as one logical entity. You must first create a bus
before you can add servers or server clusters to that bus.
About this task
To create a bus with a bus member use the administrative
console to complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Add a bus. See Adding a bus.
- Add a member to the bus. See Adding a server as a new bus member. This creates
a messaging engine with default properties and that uses the default
JDBC data source and Cloudscape Version 10.1.x (Derby) JDBC
Provider for its data store.
- Optional: If required, configure the messaging
engine. See Configuring messaging engine properties.
- Optional: If required, configure the data store
for the messaging engine.
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
Version 10.1.x (Derby) as the database system. For more information
about changing the data store configuration, see Configuring a JDBC data source for a messaging engine. You can also change the file
store configuration. Refer to Modifying file store configuration.
- Restart the server.
The messaging engine starts when the server starts.
Results
A new bus has been created.
What to do next
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.
