WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Choosing your deployment environment pattern

You can configure your deployment environment by choosing one of the IBM-supplied patterns or by creating your own custom deployment environment. This topic lists the features supported by each IBM-supplied pattern.

Before you begin

You should familiarize yourself with the information in:

About this task

You have completed designing your deployment environment and you need to determine whether one of the IBM-supplied patterns that are supported through the various product wizards would meet your needs.
Important: If you intend to use a z/OS® system or cluster in your deployment environment, make sure you determine which function that server or cluster will provide. You cannot mix z/OS systems with other systems in the same cluster so your design must take this fact into account.
Procedure
  1. Determine which IBM-supplied pattern best meets your business needs
    Deployment Environment Pattern Features
    Single cluster Messaging, application deployment target, and application support functions are contained in a single cluster. This pattern is useful for synchronous messaging, proof of concept, or application testing environments.
    Remote messaging This pattern separates the messaging environment from the application deployment target and the application support functions. Use this pattern when message throughput is a critical requirement for your daily operation. This pattern is highly recommended for asynchronous messaging and transactional systems.
    Remote messaging and remote support This pattern separates messaging, Common Event Infrastructure (CEI), application deployment target and application support functions into distinct clusters. Most businesses can use this pattern to support their deployment environments as it is designed for performance and isolation of transactional processing from messaging and other support functions.
  2. If none of the IBM-supplied patterns meets your business needs, you can implement a custom deployment environment.
    Note: To implement a custom pattern requires a good knowledge of how deployment environments work and an understanding of how to correctly configure servers and clusters.
