A basic network deployment configuration contains a deployment
manager server in one node, and an application server in another node.
In a WebSphere® ESB network
deployment configuration, both nodes are augmented with WebSphere ESB functions.
The application server is then federated into the deployment manager
cell, which allows the application server to be administered by the
deployment manager. The application server must be augmented with WebSphere ESB functionality
before it is federated into the deployment manager cell.
Before you begin
Before you create a network deployment configuration you must
complete the following tasks:
- Install WebSphere ESB on each node that is in the deployment manager cell.
- Decide on a naming convention for the databases, storage groups,
and schema (or SQL ID). Although you create and configure the DB2® database objects after configuration,
you need the names of these database objects when you edit the response
files that provide input to the configuration script.
Procedure
- Create the deployment
manager.
- Configure an empty
node.
- Federate the
empty node into the deployment manager cell.
- Create a cluster.
- Configure
SCA and optionally other Business Process Management components
as described in the Configuring
the software section.
- Create one or more DB2 databases for the configuration. See Creating and configuring the
databases.
