Adding a bus

A bus is a way of interconnecting machines so that they can be treated as one logical entity. You must first add a bus before you can add servers to that bus.

Before you begin

Plan your bus topology. For more information, review the topic Planning issues for bus topologies.

About this task

Adding a bus is the first step in the procedure to create a bus. Use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service integration > Buses. A list of buses is displayed in the content pane.
  2. In the content pane, click New.
  3. Specify a unique name for the bus in the Name field.
  4. Type a description for the bus in the Description field. The description is used for administrative purposes only.
  5. Check the Bus security check box if required.
    • If administrative security is enabled, bus security is enabled automatically, and the Bus security check box is checked.
    • When bus security is enabled, only SSL-enabled transport channel chains are allowed.
    • If bus security is not enabled, any transport channel chain is allowed.
  6. Optional: If you are adding a secured bus that may have multiple bus members, you must specify an inter-engine authentication alias. The bus uses the inter-engine authentication alias to authenticate communications between messaging engines.
  7. Optional: If you are adding a secured bus that may run mediations, you must specify a mediation authentication alias. The bus uses the mediation authentication alias to authenticate access by mediations.
  8. Click Next. A new page confirming the name and security settings of the new bus is displayed.
  9. Save your changes to the master configuration.

What to do next

You can now create a messaging engine, and a bus member.
