Use this scenario when applications developers will access
your deployment environment using WebSphere® Integration Developer and a default configuration
does not satisfy your requirements.
Before you begin
Review instructions for installing
WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus in this information
center. Also, since this scenario requires you to install
WebSphere Integration Developer on one server,
review the installation instructions for this product at
Installing WebSphere Integration Developer.
About this task
Use this procedure when you want to install
WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus for use as
the test environment server for
WebSphere Integration Developer.
Examples of
when you would use this scenario include:
- Using a remote database such as DB2®.
- Using a specific security repository.
- Testing on multiple environments (for example, testing an application
for both a previous version and a current version of the product).
Procedure
- Determine your development team's needs.
- Design your development environment.
- Design your test environment. Use
a server that is isolated from your production application environment.
Isolating the test environment prevents contamination in your business
data.

Considerations |
WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus (for
testing) and WebSphere Integration Developer (for
development) will be installed on the same physical server |
- Make sure that the server has the capacity to handle both workloads.
- Make sure all developers can access the server.
- Consider installing WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus at the same
time you install WebSphere Integration Developer.

WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus (for
testing) and WebSphere Integration Developer (for
development) will be installed on different physical servers |
- Make sure that both servers can communicate.
- Make sure all developers can access the server.
|
- Contact the security administrators to
acquire whatever user IDs and accesses you require to complete installation.
- Optional: Contact your database
administrators, if your site policies restrict database creation and
access to a centralized department.
- Schedule and coordinate the installation
of WebSphere Integration Developer and WebSphere ESB to
minimize impacts to the development community.
- Install WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus on the test
system you selected.
Important: To use this
remote installation of
WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus as a test
environment, you must obtain and apply to it a specific integration
test client update. You install this update using the WebSphere Update
Installer.
To obtain and install the update, refer to the instructions
in the following technote: Update
required for the integration test client V6.2. This technote
provides both the download package and a link to instructions for
installing it.
- Install WebSphere Integration Developer on
the development server you selected.
What to do next
Configure
WebSphere Integration Developer to
use the server you isolated.
