Adding an Endpoint
- Former user (Deleted)
An endpoint is a specific destination for a message. An endpoint definition within the mediation configuration defines an external service endpoint and any attributes or semantics that should be followed when communicating with that endpoint.
Follow the instructions below to add a new endpoint.
1. Sign in. Enter your user name and password to log on to the ESB Management Console.
2. Click on "Main" in the left menu to access the "Manage" menu.
3. In the "Manage" menu, click on "Endpoints" under "Service Bus."
4. The "Manage Endpoints" page appears.
Select an endpoint you want to add. The available options are:
- Address Endpoint - Defines the direct URL of the service.
- Default Endpoint - Defines additional configuration for the default target.
- WSDL Endpoint - Defines the WSDL, Service and Port.
- Fail-over Endpoint - Defines the endpoints that the service will try to connect to in case of a failure. This will take place in a round robin manner.
- Load-Balance Group - Defines groups of endpoints for replicated services. The incoming requests will be directed to these endpoints in a round robin manner. These endpoints automatically handle the fail-over cases as well.
- Template Endpoint - Allows to create a custom Endpoint template.
- Recipient List Endpoint -Â Defines the list of endpoints a message will be routed to. Â
5. Specify the required details according to the type of endpoint. For the detailed description of special options see:
- Address Endpoint
- Default Endpoint
- WSDL Endpoint
- Failover Endpoint
- Load-balance Endpoint
- Template Endpoint
- Recipient List Endpoint
Common options are as follows:
Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Suspend Error Codes | A list of error codes. If these error codes are received from the endpoint, the endpoint will be suspended. |
Initial Duration (Millis) | The duration that the endpoint is suspended for the first time after the receiving the suspend error codes. |
Max Duration (Millis) | The maximum duration that the endpoint is suspended after the receiving the suspend error codes. |
Factor | The duration to suspend can vary from the first time suspension to the subsequent time. The factor value decides the suspense duration variance between subsequent suspensions. |
On Timeout Error codes | A list of error codes. If these error codes are received from the endpoint, the request will be subjected to a timeout. |
Retry | The number of re-tries in case of a timeout, caused by the above listed error codes. |
Retry Delay(Millis) | The delay between retries, in milliseconds. |
Timeout Action | The action to be done at a timeout situation. You can select from:
|
Timeout Duration (Mills) | The duration in milliseconds before considering a request as timeout. |
WS-Addressing | Adds WS-Addressing headers to the endpoint. |
Separate Listener | The listener to the response will be a separate transport stream from the caller. |
WS-Security | Adds WS-Security features as described in a policy key (referring to a registry location). |
WS-Reliable Messaging | Adds WS-Reliable Messaging features as described in a policy key (referring to a registry location). |
| Non Retry Error Codes | When a child endpoint of failover/loadbalance endpoint failed for a given error code, the request will not be send to the other child endpoints of failover/loadbalance endpoint. That means retry will not be happen with the rest of the child endpoints. This option is available only when endpoint is added as a child endpoint of failover/loadbalance endpoint |
6. Add properties to an Endpoint if necessary. Use the "Add Property" link.
7. Fill in the fields:
- Name - The Endpoint properties name.
- Value - The Endpoint properties value.
- Scope -Can be selected as:
- Synapse
- Transport
- axis2-client
- Axis2
- Action - Allows to delete a property.
See more information in Properties.
8. Click "Save."
