Before you can start running mediation module, you must deploy it to a server or cluster.
Deployment involves creating an installable EAR file and installing the EAR
file onto the server or cluster.
Before you begin
If you have exported a mediation module to a JAR file, use the
serviceDeploy command
to create an installable EAR file from the JAR file. For more information,
see
Deploying a mediation module.
About this task
You must install the EAR file onto a server or cluster before
you can start running the module or mediation module.
Instead of using
the administrative console, you can use other methods to install the EAR file,
such as the AdminApp.install or AdminApp.installinteractive command
with the wsadmin tool.
Important: If, after
you start performing the steps, you decide not to install the application
you must click Cancel: do not simply move to another
administrative console page.
Procedure
- From the administrative console, click in the console
navigation pane. The first of two Preparing for
application installation pages is displayed.
- On the first Preparing for application installation page:
- Specify the full path name of the EAR file. For
more information, see Installing applications with the console.
- Select whether to use default values or specify some of the
values yourself:
- Prompt me only when additional information is required
- Displays only the module mapping step and other steps where you must specify
information.
- Show me all installation options and parameters
- Displays all installation steps. To use Generate default bindings,
which supplies default values for incomplete bindings, select this option.
- Click Next.
- Installing an EAR file containing a mediation flow is similar to
installing any other enterprise application EAR file into WebSphere Application Server. For detailed information about filling in the second Preparing
for application installation page and specifying the options in
the remaining wizard steps, see Installing applications with the console.
- When you are installing a mediation module there is
one additional optional step you can perform. On the Edit module
properties panel, you can edit the values of the properties in
the module. If properties belong to a group they are displayed
inside an expandable section; if they do not belong to a group you can view
them immediately.
Results
You can now start the mediation module.
