Getting started with the IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern

This pattern uses WebSphere® DataPower® to control messages using governed polices and service definitions in WSRR. Review the topics in this section to understand what is covered in this scenario, the reasons why a business might want to follow the scenario, the user roles involved, and an overview of the capability delivered with the product.

Before you begin

You can use the IBM® IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern on IBM PureApplication System or on the or IBM Workload Deployer appliance.

Procedure

To use the IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern, complete the following steps:

  1. Download and install the IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern. For more information about downloading the packages from Passport Advantage®, see Downloading and installing the patterns .
  2. Optional: Configure user access. For more information, see Configuring user access.
  3. Configure and deploy the pattern
    1. Accept the imported virtual system image licenses for WSRR.
    2. Accept all license agreements on the DB2® Enterprise.
    3. Deploy the pattern:
      1. Decide on the deployment topology. For more information, see IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository Version 8.0 Information Center - Deployment topologies.
      2. If using a standalone deployment topology, deploy a single Basic Runtime pattern without promotion configured.
      3. For other topologies, first deploy the SOA Policy Gateway Governance Master pattern. This provides a governance environment for services and policies.
      4. After the Governance Master pattern is successfully deployed, choose the type of runtime environment that you need. For a testing or staging environment, a Basic Runtime will typically suffice. For a production environment, choose the Advanced Runtime environment. The runtimes can be registered with the governance enablement profile promotion configuration for Governance Master. Promotion options include production, staging, or for no promotion for manual promotion configuration.
      For more information, see Deploying patterns.
    4. Verify the deployment. See Verifying the deployment.
    5. Secure the WSRR environment. For more information on planning and configuring WSRR security, see the IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository Version 8.0 Information Center.
    6. Configure the provisioned DataPower domain. For more information, see Security management.
  4. Use the deployed instance. For more information, see Working with the deployed instance.
