38.2.2. Dedicated JCA Backup Server
For the backup server, the
hornetq-configuration.xml is unchanged. Because there is no live server, you must ensure the hornetq-jboss-beans.xml instantiates all the beans needed. You configure this using the same configuration as in the live server, with the exception of changing the location of the hornetq-configuration.xml parameter for the Configuration bean.
Procedure 38.11. Configure Dedicated Backup Server
Follow this procedure to configure a dedicated HornetQ backup instance, located on a separate JBoss Enterprise Application Platform server.

- On the backup server, navigate using the command line to
/extras/hornetq/. - Execute
