Configuration steps

The following steps must be performed to configure a proxy using the Management Console:

1. Adding the proxy to the configuration data of the Management Console

   Before it can be administered, each proxy must be made known to the Management Console. This procedure is described in General information on the proxy .

2. Configuring the proxy and the proxy components

   When configuring the proxy and the proxy components, you have to make all the specifications which allow the partners to communicate with each other. This includes:

   • the specifications for identifying the proxy ( General information on the proxy ).

   • additionally for CICS partners, the settings for communication with the openUTM-LU62 Gateway and the communication service, see Proxy Components: CICS partners ), as well as specifications for the network connections for CICS partners, see "CICS Partner tab" in Adding EIS partners of the type CICS .

   • the settings for communication with the resource adapter assigned to the proxy (see  Configuring the BeanConnect resource adapter ).

3. Configuring the EIS partners and communication objects

   In this step of the configuration process, you define the communication relationships between the proxy and the EIS partners for inbound and outbound communication. The following objects must be created:

   • EIS partners (see Configuring the EIS partners )

   • Outbound services and outbound communication endpoints (see Configuring outbound communication )

   • Inbound users, inbound services and inbound message endpoints (see Configuring inbound communication )

4. Saving and activating the configuration

   After all the necessary information has been provided, you have to save the configuration. The properties of the configuration objects are stored by the Management Console, so that they are available for subsequent Management Console sessions. The Management Console then generates the configuration files to be used by the proxy, the components of the proxy and the EIS partners. The last step is to activate the new configuration.

   These tasks are described in the section Saving and activating the configuration of the BeanConnect proxy .

   If you want to form a proxy cluster, you will find the relevant information on Configuring a BeanConnect proxy cluster .
