Creating a WebSphere JMS Bus

You need to provide a JMS service to Oracle BPM applications. This procedure shows you how to configure WebSphere Application Server's Embedded JMS service. Other external JMS providers may be used. Check the Installation Guide for compatibility information.

WebSphere Application server defines the concept of a Bus to manage JMS resources. Before creating Queues and Topics, you must create a Bus.

Login to WebSphere's Administration Console. By default, it runs on http://host:9060/ibm/console.
Create a new Bus
1. Go to Service Integration > Buses press New to add a new Bus.
2. Enter a name for this Bus. Example: Oracle BPM Bus.
3. Press Next again, and Finish.
Add members (servers/clusters) to your newly created Bus.
Click on your Bus and then on Bus members, located in the Topology section.

For each server you want to add as a member:
1. Press Add and select the server/cluster to add as member.
  Note: If you are configuring a single-node environment, you must select the server as a member. If you are configuring a clustered environment, you must the target cluster.
2. Press Next and select the type of message store you want. You may use the default.
3. Press Next and review the message store properties. You may use the default values.
