In a network deployment environment it may be convenient to remotely
install WebSphere® Adapter
applications on nodes which reside closer to the EIS (e.g., on the same machine
as the EIS) than the node which contains the consuming application (e.g.,
an application which contains a BPEL process). The best practice for such
remote deployment is described herein.
Before you begin
To perform this task you must have a WebSphere Adapter embedded in an application.
You must also be working in a network deployment environment with an operating
Deployment Manager, and have sufficient privileges to install the application
on a remote machine.
Why and when to perform this task
This task is appropriate when you have a consuming application, such
as a BPEL process application, which requires communication with an EIS mediated
by a WebSphere Adapter
application in a network deployment environment.
Steps for this task
- Install the consuming application on any node of the cell.
- Remotely install the WebSphere Adapter application on a
node situated in close proximity to the EIS with which it interacts.
Result
The consuming process can access the information in the EIS via the WebSphere Adapter
application, without the need for installation of the adapter on every node
in the cell.
Example
A BPEL process application requiring communication with an EIS, mediated
by a WebSphere Adapter
application is a situation where remote deployment of the WebSphere Adapter
application is ideal. The WebSphere Adapter application can reside on a node
in the cell which is conveniently close to the EIS with which it interacts.
The BPEL process application need not reside on the same node. A WebSphere Process
Server Network Deployment environment following best practice guidelines would
have an architecture similar to that shown in figure 1.
