You can deploy a module or mediation
module, as generated by IBM® Integration
Designer,
into a production environment by using these steps.
Before you begin
Before deploying a service application to
a production server, assemble and test the application on a test server.
After testing, export the relevant files as described in Preparing to deploy to a server and
bring the files to the production system to deploy. For more information,
see the information centers for Integration Designer and WebSphere® Application
Server.
Procedure
- Copy the module and other files onto the
production server.
The modules and resources (EAR, JAR,
RAR, and WAR files) needed by the application are moved to your production
environment.
- Run the serviceDeploy command
to create an installable EAR file.
This step defines
the module to the server in preparation for installing the application
into production.
- Locate the JAR file that contains the
module to deploy.
- Issue the serviceDeploy command
using the JAR file from the previous step as input.
- Install the EAR file from step 2. How
you install the applications depends on whether you are installing
the application on a stand alone server or a server in a cell.
Note: You
can either use the administrative console or a script to install the
application. See the WebSphere Application
Server information center for additional information.
- Save the configuration. The module
is now installed as an application.
- Start the application.
Results
The application is now active and work should flow through
the module.
What to do next
Monitor the application to make sure the server is processing
requests correctly.
