The physical link (also known
as the routing type) between buses can be one of the following types:
- A service integration bus link from a messaging engine
in the local bus to a messaging engine in the foreign bus.
- A WebSphere® MQ
link from a messaging engine in the local bus to a WebSphere MQ gateway queue manager. To
the local bus the linked WebSphere MQ network
appears as a foreign bus.
- An indirect link, which is a link that is made through
one or more intermediate foreign buses.
- Name
- The name of the bus with which this bus will exchange messages. This name must match exactly the name of the existing service integration bus that is defined as the foreign bus.
- Routing type
- Routing type defines the type of link used to make the connection to the foreign bus. Use a service integration bus link for a connection to a foreign service integration bus, a WebSphere MQ link for a connection to a foreign WebSphere MQ network, or an indirect routing if the connection to the foreign bus is via another foreign bus.
- Description
- An optional description for the foreign bus, for administrative purposes.
- Configuration Status
- Indicates that the configuration was deleted with remaining runtime data. Select this foreign bus connection (by clicking the Name column) to resolve the remaining runtime data.
