Progress Sonic ESB Configuration and Management Guide

Chapter 2 ESB Containers
Progress Sonic ESB is a framework composed of classes and APIs for architecting,
developing, and configuring distributed services. This framework includes an ESB
Container, a centralized configuration service, and key routing and processing services.
This chapter explains how to work with Sonic ESB Containers and describes services and
messages in the Sonic ESB framework.
This chapter contains the following sections:
● “Overview”
● “Creating ESB Containers”
● “Defining Services”
● “Deploying an ESB Container in a Management Container”
● “Changing the State of Management and ESB Containers”
● “Monitoring Service Metrics and Notifications”
● “Enabling Integration with Actional for Visualization”
● “Logging and Tracing”
● “Using Activation Daemons”
Note The tasks in this chapter are oriented toward deployment specialists. Sonic ESB Product
Family’s development environment, the Sonic Workbench, manages ESB Containers,
starting and stopping them for you, often automatically. When you add or remove
services and processes to your development environment, you do not have to perform
most of the tasks described in this chapter. In the Sonic Workbench, you can perform
many of these actions in the Containers view. See the Sonic ESB Product Family:
