WXSServer policy

Use a WXSServer policy to define how a connection to an external WebSphere® eXtreme Scale grid is established.

Changes to the property values in a WXSServer policy take effect immediately, without the need to restart the integration server. You must deploy this policy before the associated message flow is started.

To reference a remote cache server specified by a WXSServer policy in a JCN, specify the policy details in the format {policyProjectName}:PolicyName. For example, {myPolicyProject}:MyPolicy (the {} characters are required).

The properties of this policy are described in the following table.
Property Value

catalogServiceEndPoints

A comma-separated list of one or more catalog servers for the grid to which you are connecting.

The format of each endpoint is hostname:port. This property is mandatory.

gridName

The name of the grid to which you are connecting.

overrideObjectGridFile

The absolute path to an XML file on the local system. This XML file defines overrides for the WebSphere eXtreme Scale client connections that are associated with this policy.

This property is optional. You might want to specify an override file to override certain properties, such as numberOfBuckets and timeToLive for WebSphere eXtreme Scale backing map definitions.

For details about how to update the WebSphere eXtreme Scale object grid file, see WebSphere Extreme Scale product documentation online.

securityIdentity

The name of the security identity to use when connecting to a secure grid.

This property is optional. If the grid to which you are connecting is secure, you can create a security identity that represents a user name and password for use when connecting to the remote grid. When you use the mqsisetdbparms command to create the security identity, it has the format wxs::name. When you set the securityIdentity property of the policy, specify only the name (do not include wxs::).
