12.3 Configuring Bridge in Online Mode

 

The Bridge can be configured in two ways though the online mode. All added configurations work as long as the Bridge is running. Once the Bridge is stopped, all configurations are lost.

12.3.1 Configuring Through FMQ-JMX Login

• To configure the Bridge online, login to the Bridge through FMQ-JMX from the Studio. The User can perform a RMI based JMX login to the Bridge from Studio by providing the RMI Port. After a FMQ-JMX login from Studio, Navigate to JMX Connection>Fiorano>Bridge>FioranoConnectorManager.

• Right-click the FioranoConnectionManager and select the addLink(LinkConfiguration) option from the pop-up menu. A LinkConfiguration dialog box is displayed, as shown in the figure below.
• Invoke the addLink operation by assigning appropriate values to LinkConfiguration.

• Once theLink is created, navigate to JMX Connection>Fiorano>Bridge>Link>LinkName. The LinkName is provided by the User when creating the link. (If the Link runtime MBean is not displayed via Studio, right-click on Link to refresh it). Perform the addChannel operation by assigning appropriate values in the configuration wizard.

• The add channel 'function' is visible to the user at the end of performing the add channel operation. A User can modify the link configuration by performing the editLinkConfiguration operation. All offline operations can be performed here while corresponding operations are performed at appropriate locations.

12.3.2 Configuring Through the FMQ Login

• To configure the StandAloneBridge through the FMQ login, change the RMI ConnectorPort to the port on which the Bridge is running. By default, the ConnectorPort is 1858. Change the ConnectorPort to 1899 for StandAloneBridge. Log into the FMQ server through Studio.

• After logging into the FMQ server, right-click on the Bridge and click the Add Link option from the pop-up menu. The New Link Properties dialog box is displayed.

• In the New Link Properties dialog box, click the show expert properties icon (which is yellow in color) displayed at the top of the property sheet.

All the required properties are shown on the property sheet.

• Add the appropriate values to the required properties. Server Advanced Params' can remain empty. Studio will display the new configurations. Detailed configurations are shown only if show expert property is enabled.
• Right-click on the new link and perform the add channel operation.
• Assign the appropriate valued through the input wizard. Properties are non editable. Once the configuration is added, a User is unable to edit parameter values. If the User needs to alter these values then the link or the channel should be deleted and replaced with a link and/or a channel that has the required parameters.
