Getting started with Cast Iron Express

By using IBM® WebSphere® Cast Iron® Express®, you can quickly sign up for a free trial account, create integrations, and manage your Cast Iron Express environment securely. You can also analyze your integration usage by using the analytics provided.

Why use Cast Iron Express?

WebSphere Cast Iron Express is a purpose-built solution for you to quickly create, define, run, and manage integration projects. Within minutes, you can create integrations between your salesforce.com account and other data sources.

The emphasis is on speed and simplicity, therefore, integrations are defined by using a configuration approach. You do not code the integration.

When complete, you can run your integration to move data in and out of salesforce.com, from remote databases, local files, and Dropbox.

At any time, you can extend the capability of your Cast Iron Express account by selecting one or more of the available add-on function packages.

You can invite other users to your Cast Iron Express account. You can also monitor and administer your account.

To Sign Up, go to the WebSphere Cast Iron Express home page https://express.castiron.com/express/.

What do you need to know?

Depending on your role, there are different tasks that are outlined in the following documentation. Each task is explained in sequence, starting with how to register for a Cast Iron Express account.

For security reasons, your session times out if you leave your user name signed in and there is no activity.

Some of the Cast Iron Express function uses pop-up windows. Therefore, you might want to prevent pop-up windows from being blocked in your web browser.

Before you start, check that the browser you are using is supported and meets the required minimum levels:

  • Google Chrome 18
  • Mozilla Firefox 10
  • Windows Internet Explorer 8

You can select the following tasks to learn about Cast Iron Express. Then you can start to create and manage your integrations, invite other users to your account, and monitor the activity within your account.
