# Create SAF topics

An imported SAF topic represents a topic in a remote server or cluster. SAF topics are used for asynchronous and disconnected peer communications. Messages delivered to a SAF topic are temporarily stored for future delivery, and are forwarded to a JMS topic on a remote server or cluster when it is reachable.

To create a SAF topic:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the Administration Console, navigate to the SAF imported destination resource that you want to configure a SAF topic in:
   - Navigate to JMS Resources in System Modules
   - Navigate to JMS resources in an application module
3. On the Configuration: Topics tab, click New.
4. On the Store-and-Forward Destination Properties page:
   1. Name -- Specify a name for the SAF topic.
   2. Remote JNDI Name -- Specify the JNDI name of the remote JMS topic.
5. Click Finish.
6. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

If you want to configure additional parameters for the new SAF topic, including selecting a quality-of-service for non-persistent messages, choosing an error handling policy, or selecting how unit-of-order messages should be routed, see Configure SAF topics.
