1 About Processing Domain Configuration

This chapter provides an overview of Processing Domain configuration.

About the Processing Domain

A Processing Domain is a set of servers, known as Processing Servers, on which the Orchestration Engine, interworking modules, and supplementary modules are installed. A deployment of a Processing Domain requires at least two servers.

Each server in the Processing Domain runs on its own Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Servers within a domain are symmetrical, which means that they all have the same Service Broker OSGi bundles installed and started.

About the Configuration Process

During the configuration process, you configure the OE, IMs, and SMs deployed in the Processing Domain. In addition, you configure parameters that define how the entire Processing Tier works.

You configure each component of the Processing Domain using one of the following methods:

• Administration Console, which provides a Graphical User Interface

• Java MBeans, which expose a set of attributes and operations that you can use to configure SSUs programmatically

Each chapter of this guide provides reference information for configuring a specific component of the Processing Domain and describes both configuration methods.
