Planning your SIBus Web services installation

Consider how your environment will be configured to support the Web services enablement of the service integration bus (SIBus). Determine which of the SIBus Web services roles you want each server or cluster to perform.

Inbound, outbound and gateway services: how a client request is received by an endpoint listener, then passed through an inbound port to an inbound service; how an outbound service passes a request through an outbound port to an external service; how a gateway service resembles an inbound service and maps to a target service.
The figure shows the main component types and flows for SIBus Web services. Of all these component types, only three interact directly with the world outside the bus:
By configuring these component types for a given standalone server or cluster, you enable that server or cluster to perform one or more of the following associated SIBus Web services roles:
For each of these roles, you must install a selection of the following SIBus Web services applications and resources on the associated standalone server or cluster: For more information, see Installing the SIBus Web services applications and resources.
You might choose to use a cluster rather than a standalone application server to support a role for any of the following reasons: For example, in a production environment you would typically use a cluster to act as an endpoint.
Note: There is actually a fourth role of Configuration connection point, for which you only need to install the SDO repository. This role is never provided by a cluster; only a deployment manager or an unfederated standalone server can act as a configuration connection point.
