Configuring a client – response required

The Event and Process configurations are the same as in a scenario where the client sends data directly to a StreamServer. The key features in a Service Broker scenario are the Service Channel Submit (HTTP) output and Service Channel (HTTP) input connectors.

With the Service Channel Submit (HTTP) output connector you specify:

•	Which Service Broker to connect to and send the output to.

•	Which service to request.

•	The content-type of the data sent via the Service Broker to the server.

•	That the server should return the processed output.

•	The input connector that will receive the response.

The Service Channel (HTTP) input connector is the connector that receives the response.

To configure the Service Channel Submit (HTTP) output connector

Create and configure the Service Channel Submit (HTTP) output connector according to standard procedures. Specify the following settings:

•	Service Broker Host – The Service Broker host.

•	Port – The Service Broker port.

•	Service Description – The name of the requested service.

•	Version – The version of the service. If you leave this empty, the highest registered version of the service is invoked.

•	Content-type – The content-type of the submitted output. For example application/pdf.

•	Command > SendReceiveDocument

•	Response Service Channel – The service name of the Service Channel (HTTP) input connector that will receive the response.

Note:

The connector must be queue enabled, and the number of threads on the selected queue must be at least 2.

To configure the Service Channel (HTTP) input connector

Create and configure the Service Channel (HTTP) input connector according to standard procedures. Service description should be the same as Response Service Channel specified for the Service Channel Submit (HTTP) output connector above.

To enable reception of the response

To enable the reception of the response via a Service Broker, you must specify the Service Broker host and port. You must also specify on which client port to receive the response.

1	In the Design Center, activate the physical Platform layer you want to configure.

2	Right-click the Platform view and select Configure Platform. The Configure Platform dialog opens.

3	Select the Service Broker tab and configure the following:

–	Service Broker host – Specify the host where the Service Broker is running.

–	Service Broker port – Specify the port number used by the Service Broker.

–	Port – Specify the port to use to publish services, and to receive input via the Service Broker.

For more information about Service Broker settings, see Service Broker settings in the Design Center.
