Configure the bus members

Configure the bus members:

 

The members of a service integration bus are the application servers and clusters within which messaging engines for that bus can run. When you add a new bus member, you configure its data store. 

When you add a server as a member of a bus, WebSphere Application Server creates a messaging engine for the server, with default properties. By default, the messaging engine is configured to use the default JDBC data source and Cloudscape JDBC Provider for its data store. If you want to assign your own data source JNDI name rather than using the default one, you have the choice of using he Cloudscape JDBC provider or use an existing data source which allows you to use a different JDBC provider (for example Oracle, DB2 and so on.) If you subsequently delete a bus member and then recreate it, first you must manually delete the old data source to ensure that once the new messaging engine is created, it will restart. 

To configure the Bus members, do the following:

1.       Select Service integration > Buses.

2.       Click the IBASampleBus created in the previous section.

3.       Under Additional Properties, click Bus members.

4.       Click Add.

5.       The default Bus member name is the <hostnameNode: server>. For example, our Bus name is RADNode: server1. Accept the defaults for the remaining fields and click Next.

6.       Click Finish.

7.       Click Save and then when prompted click Save to Save to Master Configuration.
