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


Network deployment configuration

An initial network deployment configuration consists of a deployment manager server that has a daemon for the z/OS® system on which the deployment manager runs. After a network deployment cell is created, you can add application server nodes by creating and federating new empty managed nodes, or by federating stand-alone application server nodes into the network deployment cell.

To install WebSphere® ESB into a network deployment environment, you must configure both a deployment manager node and an empty managed node before federation. Then to perform federation you run the job BBOWMNAN. When you federate an empty node to the deployment manager it becomes a managed node because it is being administered by the deployment manager. The managed node contains a node agent but no application servers. You can add an application server or cluster to the node with the administrative console.

The deployment manager runs the administrative console applications and is used for centralized administration tasks, such as managing the configuration of all of the managed nodes in its cell and deploying applications to selected servers and clusters in the cell. The deployment manager runs on one node, and application servers run in different nodes.

A basic network deployment configuration is made up of the following components:

The following figure shows a network deployment configuration that consists of a deployment manager server that has a daemon for the z/OS system on which the deployment manager runs. The deployment manager is administering four servers, A,B,C, and D via two node agents:

You must have the following configured before you can create a network deployment topology:
When configuring a deployment manager node, keep the following in mind:

It is very important that you plan your WebSphere Process Server for z/OS configuration before you start, especially when configuring a network deployment cell. There are many choices and you must understand the factors that influence these choices to make the correct decisions during the installation process.
