Configuring the MEIG Messaging Config adapter

Configure the MEIG Messaging Config adapter as part of the configuration of the integration module between AS4 Microservice and Sterling B2B Integrator.

Before you begin

Before you begin this task, you need:
  1. The adapter container that you created for the AS4 Microservice integration module.
  2. Information about the messaging provider that AS4 Microservice is using:
    Message provider Configuration information
    WebSphere MQ (non-Proof of Concept installations)
    • WebSphere® MQ server information:
      • Host name.
      • Port.
      • Channel name.
      • Queue manager.
      • Queue name.
      • The user name and password for the user that is allowed to access the queue. This information is required only if the WebSphere MQ queue has a user name and password. The AS4 Microservice administrator tells you if the user name and password is needed.
      • The list of server names for the WebSphere MQ connections used. The list of servers is used only if AS4 Microservice connects to multiple WebSphere MQ servers.
    • The AS4 Microservice system passphrase.
    WebSphere eXtreme Scale (Proof of Concept installations)
    • WebSphere eXtreme Scale server information:
      • Server name
      • Server user identifier
      • Server user passphrase
    • The AS4 Microservice system passphrase.
  3. Storage information:
    • The full Parent path of the storage bucket directory. When you are configuring the adapter for storage, always enter the full path name.
    • The bucket name.
    • The passphrase for key derivation.

About this task

Configure the MEIG Messaging Config adapter with the credentials that are used to connect to the messaging service provider. All of the information about the messaging service is provided by the AS4 Microservice administrator.

The Business Document Receiver, Business Document Sender, and Visibility Events Sender adapters use this adapter to connect to the messaging service provider. This adapter must be configured before the Business Document Receiver, Business Document Sender, and Visibility Event adapters. You must be logged in to theSterling B2B Integrator user interface with system administrator permissions to configure the adapter.

The messaging provider (WebSphere MQ or WebSphere eXtreme Scale) and AS4 Microservice must be running when you configure the adapter or the test configuration step fails. The messaging provider configuration information that you enter for the adapter must match the messaging provider configuration information that is specified during AS4 Microservice installation. If the connection does not work, verify the information that you received from the AS4 Microservice administrator is correct.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Sterling B2B Integrator user interface with system administrator permissions.
  2. From the Deployment menu, select Services > Configuration.
  3. On the Services Configuration page, in the New Service area, click Go!.
  4. On the Services Configuration page, type MEIG Messaging Config Adapter and click Next.
  5. In the Name field, enter a new descriptive name.
  6. In the Description field, enter a new description for the adapter.
  7. Choose the adapter container that you created for the integration module adapters.
  8. In the Select a group area, accept the default None for the adapter and click Next.
  9. From the Configuration Type menu, choose the messaging service that you are configuring and click Next.
  10. Enter the messaging provider configuration information for the messaging provider that you are using.
  11. On the Test Connection page, click Go! to test the messaging provider connection to AS4 Microservice. The success or fail message shows in the same page. If the connection test is a success, click Next. If the connection test fails, click Back and verify and correct the messaging provider configuration information that you entered. Repeat this step until the test is successful.
  12. On the Document Storage page, select the document storage option that you want and click Next
  13. If you are storing data to the file system when the document is over a threshold, on the File System Threshold page, enter the threshold. Click Next.
  14. On the MEGMessagingConfigAdapter: Storage Retrieval page select true and click Next.
  15. On the MEGMessagingConfigAdapter: Storage Retrieval: Storage Parameters page, enter the storage server information, remembering to use the full path name, and click Next.
  16. On the Confirm page, verify that the shown settings are correct and click Finish.
