Adding the WebSphere MQ server to a bus

You use a WebSphere® MQ server to configure a direct (single bus) connection to a WebSphere MQ for z/OS® queue manager or queue sharing group. A WebSphere MQ server bus member is used as a bus member for assigning queue points and mediation points to WebSphere MQ queues.

Before you begin

You can add the WebSphere MQ server to a bus through the administrative console as described in this task, or you can add the WebSphere MQ server to a bus using the wsadmin tool.

Before performing this task, obtain details of the client connection from your WebSphere MQ administrator. Also ensure that the WebSphere MQ server definition has been configured, that the bus has been defined and that the server is not already a bus member.

About this task

You add a WebSphere MQ server to one or more buses so that messaging engines on the bus can access queues on the target WebSphere MQ installation. When you make the server a bus member, you can override the server connection settings with settings that are specific to the new bus member. This can be useful in a multiple bus topology.

Procedure

  1. Start the administrative console.
  2. Navigate to the list of bus members for the bus to which you are adding the WebSphere MQ server. Click Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > [Topology] Bus members .
  3. Click Add. The Add a new bus member wizard is displayed.
  4. Select the WebSphere MQ server to add to the bus.
    1. Select the WebSphere MQ server radio button.
    2. From the drop-down list, select the server to add.
    3. Click Next.
  5. Optional: To override the server connection settings, select the Override WebSphere MQ server connection properties check box.

    When you select this option, the connection properties for the server are made available so that you can change them to settings that are specific to this bus member. For more information about these connection properties, see the WebSphere MQ Servers bus member settings.

  6. Optional: If you have changed the server connection settings, you can click Test connection to test the connection to the associated WebSphere MQ network.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Click Finish to confirm.
  9. Save your changes to the master configuration.

What to do next

You are now ready to create a WebSphere MQ queue type destination for the new bus member.
