Configure Store-and Forward services

The Store-and-Forward (SAF) service enables WebLogic Server to deliver messages reliably between applications that are distributed across WebLogic Server instances. If the destination is not available at the moment the messages are sent, either because of network problems or system failures, then the messages are saved on a local server instance, and are forwarded to the remote destination once it becomes available. Communication between distributed applications is accomplished through a pair of sending and receiving SAF Agents that are configured on the local and remote server instances, respectively.

To configure store-and-forward services:

Start the Administration Server for your domain.
Create Store-and Forward agents.
Optionally, configure Sending Agent Attributes, Receiving Agent Attributes, or Threshold and Quotas.
Optionally, configure a persistent store if you want a dedicated store for stored-and-forwarded messages. For more information about configuring a persistent store, see Configure persistent stores.
Optionally, configure a Path Service if the sending-side is a cluster and the JMS producer is associated with a Unit-of-Order, which enables JMS message producers to group ordered messages into a single unit. See Create path services.
For more information about JMS Unit-of-Order, see Using Message Unit-of-Order.
Configure Store-and-Forward for JMS modules, as described in Configure JMS SAF.
