Adding an additional runtime environment

The Governance Enablement Profile comes with a pre-defined environment classification system that contains four distinct environments; Development, Test, Staging, and Production.

About this task

The Staging and Production environments are also codified in the SOA lifecycle that defines the lifecycle of Capability Versions, such as Service Versions. There are states and transitions that are specific to the Staging and Production environments, allowing for controlled promotion into these runtime environments by defining the target systems in the promotion configuration file. This procedure is appropriate if your organization defines environments in the same way, with Staging as a pre-Production environment that allows testing before the Capability Version is opened for general use. However, many organizations require more environments, so modifications are needed in the profile to accommodate these differences. This section describes one way that a new runtime environment can be added into the WSRR Governance Enablement Profile.

Procedure

  1. Deploy the predefined SOA Policy Gateway Governance Master. For more information, see Deploying the governance master pattern.
  2. Optional: Modify the WSRR Governance Enablement Profile. For more information, see IBM WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository Version 8.0 Information Center - Tutorial: Customizing runtime environments.
  3. Configure the basic runtime or advanced runtime patterns with the Governance Master details. For more information, see SOA Policy Gateway Governance Master deployment information.
    Note: The promotion environment value must be set to Unset.
  4. Deploy the predefined basic runtime or advanced runtime patterns. For more information, see Deploying a basic runtime pattern and Deploying an advanced runtime pattern.
