Configuring the service integration bus

Configure the service integration bus to later establish the Java Message Service (JMS) input and output queues to communicate with the job scheduler message-driver interface (MDI) application.

About this task

This task can be performed by the wsgridConfig script. See Configuring the job scheduler message-driven interface and associated JMS artifacts for details.

The service integration bus consists of the following elements:
  • The service bus itself.
  • Members that identify the server cluster that hosts the job scheduler.
  • Destinations that identify the logical input and output queues on the bus.

Complete the following steps to successfully configure the service integration bus:

Procedure

  1. Create a new bus. In the administrative console, click Service Integration > Buses > New. Specify a name for the bus, such as JobScheduler.
  2. Complete the wizard to assign a member to the new bus. In the administrative console, click Service Integration > Buses > bus_name > Bus members, and click Add.
    1. Select either a server, cluster, or WebSphere MQ server as the host for the bus, and click Next.
    2. Click File store as the type of message store for persistent messages, and click Next.
      Attention: The job scheduler MDI application does not actually use persistent messages, but you must make a selection to complete the wizard.
    3. Specify the log and permanent store directories, and click Next. The following examples illustrate the path to the log and store directories:
      • ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/Scheduler/Log
      • ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/Scheduler/Perm-Store
  3. Define the input queue and output queue destinations. The steps to define a destination for each type of queue are similar, but you can define only one destination at a time.

    Begin by clicking Service Integration > Buses > bus_name > Destinations to add members to the bus, and click New.

    1. In the wizard, define the destination, and click Next.
    2. Set the queue attributes. Type com.ibm.ws.grid.InputQueue as the identifier for the input queue, type com.ibm.ws.grid.OutputQueue for the output queue identifier, and click Next.
    3. Select Scheduler to assign the queue to a bus member, and click Next.
    4. Review your selections, and click Finish to exit the wizard.
  4. Save and synchronize the service bus definitions.

What to do next

Define the JMS queues to complete the final step in setting up the external scheduler interface.
