Bus members [Settings]

Bus members are the servers, WebSphere MQ servers and clusters that have been added to the bus.

To view this pane in the console...

Use this pane to configure messaging engine settings for a cluster when we are using messaging engine policy assistance.

You can...

• change the currently selected messaging engine policy assistance
• view the configuration diagram for the cluster
• undertake further messaging engine configuration steps by using the links available in Additional Properties
• disable messaging engine policy assistance

Configuration tab

The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.

Enable messaging engine policy assistance

A value that shows whether messaging engine policy assistance is set for the server cluster. This option is always selected when you first view this pane. To disable messaging engine policy assistance, deselect this option. The list of messaging engine policy assistance types and the configuration diagram are no longer displayed.

 

Policy name

A value that shows the currently selected messaging engine policy assistance type for the server cluster. To change the selection, click the required radio button in the Select column, then click Apply or OK.

For each messaging engine policy assistance type, except Custom, the column...

Is further configuration required?

...shows No if the number of messaging engines and their behavior are correctly configured. Otherwise, this column shows one or more messages with suggested actions to achieve the number of messaging engines and the required messaging engine behavior for each messaging engine policy assistance type.

A diagram shows...

• the servers
• the currently configured messaging engines
• an indication of messaging engine behavior in the cluster
• changes required to support the currently selected messaging engine policy assistance type

 

Additional Properties

Messaging engines

Configure the messaging engines in this cluster. For example, we can add, remove, start or stop a messaging engine.

Messaging engine policy maintenance

View or correct the policy settings for the messaging engines in this cluster, that is, the settings that affect messaging engine behavior.

Redundant core group policies

View or delete any core group policies that are associated with this cluster, but that are not associated with any messaging engine in this cluster. When you use messaging engine policy assistance, you do not have to create or manage core group policies directly. A redundant core group policy might occur if messaging engine policy assistance is not enabled and you remove a messaging engine without deleting its associated core group policy, or create a core group policy not associated with a messaging engine.
