Use this scenario when application developers will access
your deployment environment using WebSphere® Integration Developer and a default
configuration will meet your requirements.
Before you begin
Familiarize yourself with the installation
processes described in the
WebSphere Integration Developer information center.
The requirements stated there are additional to requirements for
WebSphere ESB.
About this task
Before installing WebSphere Integration Developer, consider whether
it is advantageous to install WebSphere ESB to
provide a server for developers to use to test applications. Moving
your development team into an environment that provides testing capabilities
at the outset can make your team productive quickly.
If a small
test server can meet your requirements, consider installing WebSphere ESB with WebSphere Integration Developer.
Procedure
- Design the development and testing environments.
- Determine the requirements for WebSphere Integration Developer.
- Determine the requirements for the test server.
Talk with the development team to obtain their input on availability,
capacity and security. In most cases, a single server isolated from
the production environment will be sufficient for their use.
- Make sure that the target servers have sufficient hardware
to meet the needs.
- 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.
What to do next
Install the hardware and
WebSphere Integration Developer, selecting the
option to install the test server on the servers you identified in
step
1 and verify that
the environment performs as expected.
