ActiveMQ Channels are used to create named connections between an IT Bus Stop and the Apache ActiveMQ™ messaging service.
Apache ActiveMQ™ is an open source messaging and integrations patterns server frequently used to communicate data with IT systems.
1. Select the IT Bus Stop tab.
2. Click ActiveMQ Channels.
A list of the existing ActiveMQ channels is shown.
3. Click Add.
A new window opens.
4. Enter a name for the channel.
5. Enter a description in the default language.
6. Enter the ActiveMQ server address. This is the URL to connect to the ActiveMQ server. The URL should be formatted as activemq:tcp://<IP ADDRESS OR HOSTNAME>:<PORT> where the default port is 61616.
7. Enter the Incoming queue name. This is the queue the incoming (upload) messages will be received from. This is the outgoing queue of the IT system.
8. Enter the Outgoing queue name. This is the queue the outgoing (download) messages will be sent to. This is the incoming queue of the IT system.
9. If required, enable Backup data and select a directory
to save successfully processed files in or click
to search for the directory to use.
Only incoming data is backed up.
10. Enter the Directory
for errors where files that could not be processed will be stored
or click to search for the
directory to use.
1. While editing an IT ActiveMQ channel select the Channel Messages tab.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter a name for the channel message.
4. Specify the Direction for the message.
Messages are Uploaded towards the Bus and Downloaded away from it.
5. Select the Bus message. This is the message that will be sent to the bus when this message is sent or received from ActiveMQ.
6. Select an XPath filter. The XML channel runs XPaths from all channel messages against an incoming XML message. The XML messages that are matched are sent for processing. Incoming messages can be processed by zero, one or multiple channel messages depending on XPath matches.
7. If required, select a Message transformation. This is an XSLT schema that will transform the file into a format that the IT bus stop can read.
8. If required, enable Send Acknowledgment to acknowledge that the message has been received. It will also require an XSLT schema that will transform the file into an acknowledgment message.
9. Click OK.
The channel message is added to the channel.
10. Click Save.
The channel is saved.
