  14. From the Bus name list, select Fiper Bus.
  15. From the Topic space list, select Default.Topic.Space.
  16. Click OK.
  17. Under Resources/JMS on the left side of the console, click Connection factories.

  23. From the Bus name list, select Fiper Bus.
  24. In the Target inbound transport chain text box, type the following entry:

    InboundBasicMessaging

  25. In the Provider endpoints text box, type the following entry, substituting the server’s host name and the endpoint address noted in Starting WebSphere and Determining Server Port Numbers.

    For example:

  30. From the Authentication alias for XA recovery list, select the appropriate alias, for example:acscomputerNode01/fiperOracleAuth

    Note: This setting is necessary if security will be enabled on your SIMULIA Execution Engine, but it will not impact a non-secure SIMULIA Execution Engine.

  31. From the Mapping-configuration alias list, select DefaultPrincipalMapping.
  32. From the Container-managed authentication alias list, select the appropriate alias.

    Note: This setting is necessary if security will be enabled on your SIMULIA Execution Engine, but it will not impact a non-secure SIMULIA Execution Engine.

  33. Click Apply.
  34. In the Additional Properties area on the right side of the console, click Connection pool properties.
  35. In the Connections timeout text box, verify that 180 appears.
