Deploying instances from the IBM SOA Policy Pattern

Deploying the IBM® SOA Policy Pattern creates a running virtual system instance of the pattern.

Before you begin

To deploy a pattern you must first have either a predefined pattern or a new pattern that is complete, with all required parts configured.

About this task

Deploying a pattern creates a virtual system instance that is running in the cloud.

Procedure

To deploy the IBM SOA Policy Pattern, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Patterns > Virtual Systems
  2. From the Virtual System Patterns list, select the pattern to deploy.
  3. Click the Deploy icon.
  4. Complete the required fields to deploy the pattern. A check mark beside each item indicates that it does not require further configuration.
    1. In the Virtual system name box, enter a name for the instance.
    2. Optional: To change the parameters for configured parts, click Configure virtual parts then click the part name to open the editor for the part.
      Note: Usernames and passwords are preconfigured with default values within the configuration settings. For more information, see the part details for each part Parts.
  5. Click OK to deploy the pattern.

Results

The deployment process creates and starts virtual machines for the parts defined and provides links to required consoles. The time for the deployment depends on the complexity of the pattern being deployed. A deployed pattern is a virtual system, or a newly provisionedIBM SOA Policy Pattern runtime environment.

What to do next

To view the status of your instance, to see when deployment is complete and to administer it, click Instances > Virtual system and select the instance from the Virtual System Instances list. For more information about viewing the details of an instance or using it, see Working with the deployed instance.

To verify the success of the deployment, see Verify the deployment.

To test the deployment by sending some sample messages, see Tutorial: Working with the sample application.
