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:
- 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 .
- Optional: Configure user access. For more information,
see Configuring user access.
- Configure and deploy the pattern
- Accept the imported virtual system image licenses for
WSRR.
- Accept all license agreements on the DB2® Enterprise.
- Deploy the pattern:
- Decide on the deployment topology. For more information, see IBM WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository Version 8.0 Information Center - Deployment
topologies.
- If using a standalone deployment topology, deploy a single Basic
Runtime pattern without promotion configured.
- For other topologies, first deploy the SOA Policy Gateway Governance
Master pattern. This provides a governance environment for services
and policies.
- 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.
- Verify the deployment. See Verifying the deployment.
- 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.
- Configure the provisioned DataPower domain. For more information,
see Security management.
- Use the deployed instance. For more information, see Working with the deployed instance.
