Connecting to external WebSphere eXtreme Scale grids (deprecated)

About this task

Attention: As both the embedded and external WebSphere® eXtreme Scale (WXS) grids (deprecated from App Connect Enterprise version 13.0.3.0 onward) are based on Java™ 8, any new implementations should prefer the embedded global cache over the embedded WXS grid, and the external Redis global cache over the external WXS grid.
For information about WebSphere eXtreme Scale grids, see the concept topic WebSphere eXtreme Scale (WXS) grids.

IBM® App Connect Enterprise supports the IBM eXtremeIO (XIO) transport mechanism for communicating with WebSphere eXtreme Scale external grids. You do not need to specify this transport mechanism as part of the integration server configuration.
