Deploying patterns

Use any of the available predefined patterns that are available with the pattern types to deploy Rational® Integration Tester environments in the cloud. Patterns are deployed in an environment that contains a single IBM® PureApplication® processor.

The pattern types include a set of artifacts, which you can use to build your Rational Integration Tester environments in the cloud. These artifacts include predefined (or sample) virtual system patterns, software components, and script packages.

Patterns contain a set of software components, which are required for the pattern to function when deployed to the cloud as a virtual system. Each software component represents a single virtual machine in a virtual system. The predefined patterns are pre-configured with the software components that support the functions of the patterns, and also include a set of executable files and artifacts in script packages, which are used to configure the software components when you deploy the patterns.

Important: The predefined patterns are read-only, which means that you cannot add or delete software components. To change the composition of a predefined pattern, you must clone the pattern or create one. For more information, see Managing virtual system patterns.

To view further details about these patterns, from the workload console, click Patterns > Virtual System Patterns.

The following predefined virtual system patterns are provided:
  • IBM Rational Integration Tester Pattern
  • IBM Rational Test Control Panel Pattern
  • IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server Pattern
  • IBM Rational Performance Test Server Pattern
  • IBM Rational License Key Server Pattern
Important: If you plan to deploy any of the following patterns, you must deploy the IBM Rational License Key Server Pattern and its shared service first. The IBM Rational License Key Server Pattern provides the automated license management required to use these patterns.
  • Rational Integration Tester
  • Rational Test Virtualization Server with Agent mode licensing
  • Rational Performance Test Server with Agent mode licensing

For more information about deploying the license server, see Deploying IBM Rational License Key Server Pattern.

Important: If you plan to connect to any of the following patterns, you must deploy the Red Hat Satellite Service first.
  • IBM Rational Integration Tester
  • IBM Rational Test Control Panel
  • IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server
  • IBM Rational Performance Test Server

For more information about the Red Hat Satellite Service, see Red Hat Satellite Service.
