When you split message flow processing between IBM® App Connect Enterprise and IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud, you must configure a connectivity agent.
When you split processing between IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud, your flows communicate by using a Switch server and connectivity agent. The Switch server, which routes data, is managed for you by IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud. The connectivity agent contains the certificates that your flows require to communicate securely with the Switch server. A connectivity agent must be running in the IBM App Connect Enterprise integration server where you have deployed your on-premises message flows.
The Switch server is already created in IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud. You must download an agent configuration file from the cloud, and use it to configure the on-premises connectivity agent. Your callable flows use this agent to communicate with each other securely, through the Switch server.
To prepare the environment to split processing between IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud, complete the following steps.
You can check that your callable flows are registered with the Switch server by using the Callable flows view of IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud.
