Version 12.x and Later

A Remote Subscription in a Solace Bridge defines which messages are forwarded across the bridge from one Message VPN to another. It acts as a topic filter on the bridge, attracting only messages from the remote broker that match the subscription and delivering them to the local broker. This mechanism ensures that only relevant message flows cross the bridge, supporting distributed deployments, data replication, and inter-VPN communication.

Browse Existing Remote Subscriptions

1. In the Bridge viewlet, select the bridge for which you want to view remote subscriptions.

2. From the Selected menu, click on Remote Subscriptions…
   

3. The Remote Subscriptions tab opens in the Console, listing all remote subscriptions configured for the selected bridge. If no remote subscription exists, follow the steps below to add one.

4. To add multiple subscriptions, enter a topic and click the Add button after each entry.

5. Click Ok to create the remote subscription(s) immediately, or Schedule to apply them later.
   (See Scheduling Jobs for more information.)

Once added, each remote subscription appears in the list with its configured delivery settings.
