The persistent store for messages and other state managed by the messaging engine.

To view this pane in the console, click the following path:

Configuration tab

Configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.

Important: When adding a cluster as a bus member, you must configure the log file, permanent store file and temporary store file to be on a file system that is accessible to all members of a cluster.

General properties

UUID

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

Required No
Data type Text

Same settings for permanent and temporary stores

When selected the same settings for the permanent store will be applied to the temporary store.

When creating a new messaging engine with a file store, you can select this property to minimize the number of property values that you need to specify for permanent store files and temporary store files. The same values are then used for both the permanent store files and temporary store files. This property is selected by default.

Log

Log size

Size in megabytes of the log file.

For more information on the log file and appropriate values for the log file parameters refer to File store configuration attributes.
Default 100 MB
Required Yes
Data type Long
Range 10 through 9223372036854775807 MB

Log directory path

Name of the log files directory.

When creating a messaging engine with a file store, you can select the Default log directory path radio button for this property. This option causes, the following default directory value to be used: ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/filestores/com.ibm.ws.sib/messagingEngineName-messagingEngineUuid/log where messagingEngineName and messagingEngineUuid are substituted from the Name and UUID properties of the messaging engine.

After you have created the file store, the Log directory path field displays the directory path used for log files.

Default ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/filestores/com.ibm.ws.sib/messagingEngineName-messagingEngineUuid/log where messagingEngineName and messagingEngineUuid are substituted from the Name and UUID properties of the messaging engine.
Required Yes
Data type Text

Store

Minimum permanent store size

The minimum number of megabytes reserved by each of the permanent store files. The permanent store files are never smaller than the log file.

For more information on the store files and appropriate values for the log file parameters refer to File store configuration attributes.

Data type Long
Range 0 through 9223372036854775807 MB

Unlimited permanent store size

Indicates whether the permanent store files are unlimited in size.

Required No
Data type Check box
Maximum permanent store size

The maximum size in megabytes for the permanent store files.

If you want to set a specific maximum size for permanent store files, ensure that the Unlimited permanent store size check box is cleared, then type the number of megabytes in the field provided.
Default 500 MB
Required No
Data type Integer
Permanent store directory path

Name of the permanent store files directory.

When creating a messaging engine with a file store, you can specify a non-default directory to be used for permanent store files. To do this, select the Permanent store directory path radio button, then type a directory path value in the field provided.

When creating a messaging engine with a file store, you can select the Default permanent store directory path radio button for this property.
