Preventing the creation of the default integration node

You can prevent a default integration node from being created when the IBM® Integration Toolkit is started.

About this task

By default, whenever the IBM Integration Toolkit is started, a default integration node that is named TESTNODE_user_name is created (if the integration node does not exist), and then the integration node is started.

If you do not want the default integration node to be created, you have the following options:

Preventing the creation of the default integration node by using an IBM Integration Toolkit preference

Procedure

Complete the following steps to prevent the TESTNODE_user_name integration node from being created or started the next time that the IBM Integration Toolkit is started:

  1. Start the IBM Integration Toolkit.
  2. From the main menu, select Window > Preferences.
  3. In the Preferences navigator, select Integration Development > Unit Test Settings.
  4. Select the Disable default TESTNODE creation check box.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Optional: Delete the TESTNODE_user_name integration node; see Deleting an integration node.

Results

The next time that you start the IBM Integration Toolkit, one of the following situations occurs:
  • If you deleted the TESTNODE_user_name integration node, the integration node is not re-created.
  • If you did not delete the TESTNODE_user_name integration node, the integration node is not started.

Preventing the creation of the default integration node by using a command

Procedure

Complete the following steps to prevent the TESTNODE_user_name integration node from being created or started when you start the IBM Integration Toolkit:

  1. Start the IBM Integration Toolkit from the command environment, by typing the following command:

    iib toolkit without testnode

  2. Optional: If you want to permanently suppress the creation of the default integration node, set the IBM Integration Toolkit preference; see Preventing the creation of the default integration node by using an IBM Integration Toolkit preference.

Results

The IBM Integration Toolkit starts and one of the following situations occurs:
  • If the TESTNODE_user_name integration node does not exist, the integration node is not created.
  • If the TESTNODE_user_name integration node exists, the integration node is not started.
