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 or server clusters to that bus.
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
- In the navigation pane, click . A list of buses is displayed in the content pane.
- In the content pane, click New.
- Specify a unique name for the bus in the Name field.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

new page confirming the name and security settings of the new bus is displayed.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
What to do next
You can now create a messaging engine, and a bus member.
