Scaling JMS servers

By default, the server bundle for JMS servers is a single pod or server bundle in Maximo® Manage. You can add server bundles if you need them.

Procedure

You can select one of the following options to add JMS server bundles:

  1. Complete the following steps to create more instances of the standalonejms server bundle and the mea server bundle:
    1. Create another instance of the standalonejms server bundle.
    2. Create the same set of queues that existed in your first server bundle.
    3. Create another instance of the mea server bundle that uses the new standalonejms server bundle.

    You can then configure an external system to use either of the mea cluster URLs to send the messages, which distributes the processing load across multiple servers.

  2. You can add more mea server instances for the same standalonejms server. This process effectively creates message-driven beans (MDB) that can consume messages in parallel from the JMS server.
