You can deploy a mediation module, as generated by WebSphere® Integration Developer, into a production WebSphere® ESB environment using these steps.
Before deploying a mediation module, assemble and test the module on a test server. After testing, export the mediation module and other files needed.
A mediation module provides functions that can change the format, content or target of service requests between applications and services. These functions can help you to integrate applications and services. Mediation modules are types of Service Component Architecture (SCA) modules.
To enable WebSphere ESB to use the functions provided by the mediation module you need to deploy the module. A mediation module is deployed to WebSphere ESB as a service application in the same way you would deploy enterprise applications, using an installable EAR (Enterprise ARchive) file.
During installation, you can configure the module enough to enable it to run in WebSphere ESB. After installation, you can configure the module further, start or stop the application, and otherwise manage its activity.
To deploy a mediation module as a service application, complete the following steps:
