Configure SAF topics

Before you begin

An imported SAF topic represents a topic in a remote server instance or cluster. When a JMS producer sends messages to a SAF topic, these messages are stored on the SAF topic for future delivery. A SAF agent forwards these messages to the remote topic when it is reachable, using the SAF remote context.

To configure a SAF topic:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
In the Administration Console, navigate to the SAF imported destination resource that you want to configure:
- Navigate to JMS Resources in System Modules
- Navigate to JMS resources in an application module
On the Configuration: Topics tab, select the SAF Topic you want to configure.
If the table does not contain a SAF queue, refer to Create SAF topics.
On the General tab, update as necessary:
1. Remote JNDI Name -- The remote JNDI name of the remote destination.
2. Local JNDI Name -- The local JNDI name of the remote destination.
3. Non-Persistent QOS -- Select the quality of service for non-persistent messages.
4. Error Handling -- Select the error handling configuration used by this SAF destination.
5. Use TimeToLive Default -- Enables overriding the expiration time for JMS messages.
6. Time To Live Default -- The default expiration time, in milliseconds, for JMS messages.
7. Unit of Order Routing -- Specify the type of routing used find a dstributed destination member when using the Path Service.
For more information about these fields, see Configuration Options.
Click Save.
To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
