Configuring Your Event Broker Service as a Source or Target
You must configure the connection details between your Micro-Integration and event broker service. This includes defining the location, authentication method, and destination details. Most of the connection details are the same for both source and target Micro-Integrations, but you configure them at different points in the stepper. You configure Event broker service connection details in:
-
the Source Connection step for a target Micro-Integration
-
the Target Connection step for a source Micro-Integration
Use the table below as a guide to complete the fields in the stepper when you're configuring your event broker service connection details.
This table assumes that you are configuring your Micro-Integration with basic authentication. If you are configuring advanced authentication (client certificate or OAuth), see Configuring Authentication for Micro-Integration Connectivity to Event Broker Services.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Location | |
| Event Broker Service | Select the name of the event broker service. |
| Host | The host URI (<protocol>://<hostname>:<SMF-port>) of the event broker, such as tcps://myhost:55555. You can specify over TCP or SSL over TCP. If you don't specify a protocol, TCP is used by default. The Host URI field is filled in automatically. |
| Authentication | |
| Client Username | The username to authenticate with the event broker service to establish a messaging connection. The Client Username field populates automatically. |
| Client Password | The password to authenticate with the event broker service to establish a messaging connection. The Client Password field populates automatically. |

| Destination Type |
For the event broker service as the target, select TOPIC or QUEUE for the topic destination or the name of the queue, respectively. This option is not available when the event broker service is the source. Create the required queue on your event broker service if you haven't done so already. For more information, see |
| Destination |
For the event broker services as the source, the name of the queue to consume from. For the event broker services as the target, the name of the queue or topic to publish to based on what you selected for the Destination Type.
