WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid, Version 6.1.1
             Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS


The unit test environment (UTE) topology

You can use a single server unit test environment (UTE) topology. The unit test environment is integrated with the product install, and a profile template, wxdcgUTE_augment, is provided for augmentation. Augmentation of this template configures the unit test environment on a standalone application server.

When the unit test environment is integrated during the product installation, all the necessary files are stored in the target profile. The selected application server is configured to host the job scheduler and job execution environment. It also creates and configures local Derby databases to support the job components.

The following diagram shows the UTE topology:
