What do I need to know about deployment?
Deployment
is the process of transferring data to an integration server that belongs
to a broker, so that it can take effect in the broker. Use the following
links to find out more about deployment.
How do I deploy message flows?
You
must create, configure, and start at least one broker to deploy message flows to an integration server. Use the
links in this section to find out how to deploy your message
flows and related resources to an integration server.
- How do I add an integration server?
An integration server
is a named grouping of message flows that have been assigned to a
broker. The broker enforces a degree of isolation between message
flows in distinct integration servers by ensuring that they run in separate
address spaces, or as unique processes. You can create more integration
servers in a number of different ways:
- How can I create a broker archive?
A
broker archive file (BAR file) is a compressed file that contains
compiled message flows, message dictionaries, and other development
resources. Use this link to find out how to create a broker archive.
You can use the Broker Archive editor to add or remove
message flows and message model schema files to
or from your broker archive, and to edit the configurable properties
within your BAR file.
- How can I add resources to a broker
archive?
You can add message flows and message model schema files to a broker archive
file. The message flows, message model schema files,
and related resources are compiled when they are added to the broker
archive file. You can also choose to add the source files to the broker
archive file. You cannot add resources to a broker archive file from
a project that contains an error.
- How can I deploy a broker archive file?
Find
out about the different ways that you can deploy a broker archive
file to a broker. For deploying message flows during
development to a test environment, the simplest method is to use the IBM Integration Toolkit. When you deploy to a broker,
you select an integration server to deploy to.
- How do I check the results of deployment?
Use
this link to find out how you can check the results of a deployment.
- How do I refresh the contents of a
broker archive?
You can refresh the contents of a broker
archive by removing resources from it and, having made required changes,
add them back again. Alternatively, you can use the Refresh option
in the Broker Archive editor.
How can I configure message flows?
