Foreign bus connections [Collection]
A foreign bus connection allows communication with another bus. The foreign bus can represent another Service Integration Bus, an instance of WebSphere MQ, or an indirect connection to another foreign bus.
Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Foreign bus connections
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.

This button does not work if the selected foreign bus uses a WebSphere MQ link that is running on an application server on which WebSphere MQ has been disabled.
