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:
- Assessing your business requirements
- Identifying available resources
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
- 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. |
- 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.
