This tutorial guides you through creating a clustered "gold" topology for WebSphere® ESB using a template-driven approach.
With WebSphere ESB you can describe the entire topology that you want to set up by defining a new type of configuration object called a Deployment Environment.
You will then generate the deployment environment and test the topology.
After completing the lessons in this module you should be able to understand the concepts and know how to do the following tasks:With WebSphere ESB you can describe the entire topology that you want to set up by defining a new type of configuration object called a Deployment Environment.
After completing this module you should be able to understand the concept of a deployment environment and the different types of topologies associated with it, and you should be able to choose the right type of topology for your system.
Select the type of topology, after assessing which type is most appropriate based on your setup.
In this module, you will create the deployment manager and custom profiles required for the topology, and you will federate them to the cell. This tutorial follows the approach where the deployment environment is created after federation, because that way you have better control over the configuration of the resources being created.
Create a deployment manager profile, using the Profile Management tool.
Creating a custom profile for the Gold topology.
Verify that the database and profiles have been created successfully.
Learn how to federate nodes to the cells.
This tutorial guides you through the steps to create the deployment environment that corresponds to the required clustered topology.
To create a new deployment environment using the console you need to select the type of topology you want to create. As a part of this tutorial, you will create the Gold topology. To select the Gold topology, you need to go through the following steps
This section describes the steps involved in adding the nodes to the topology you want to create.
Review what you have created so far.
In order for the deployment environment generation to succeed, you need to make sure that the database instances exist. In particular, the EVENT database must exist, or the generation will abort with an error that indicates that the database could not be found. In this section we are going to create the instances of all the necessary databases and rely as much as possible on the automatic creation of tables.
This section will guide you through the steps involved in generating the deployment environment using the administrative console.
