Preparing packaged solutions for deployment

You can configure properties on the resources in your BAR file to match the properties or requirements of your production environment.

About this task

You can configure the following properties that are associated with your message flows:
  • The name of the consumer and provider policies that are used to authenticate, encrypt, and sign messages for SOAP nodes.
  • Whether the message flow is processed as an XA coordinated transaction that is coordinated by WebSphere® MQ.
  • The name of the monitoring profile configurable service to apply to one or more message flows in the solution.
  • The name of the security profile that a message flow uses to complete authorization with Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager (TFIM).
  • The workload management policy that is used to manage the message flow. If you do not have a workload management policy, you can set the workload management properties directly in the BAR file.

For information on how to set these properties; see Editing configurable properties in a BAR file.

You can configure the value of user-defined properties that were configured on your message flows during the development of your solution; see Configuring a message flow at deployment time with user-defined properties.

You can add additional instances of a message flow to your solution; see Adding multiple instances of a message flow to a BAR file.

You can also use operational policies to control certain aspects of message flow and message flow node behavior at run time. For more information, see Operational policy.
