Creating a mediation module

A mediation module is a WebSphere® Business Integration project that is used for development, version management, organizing resources, and deployment to the runtime environment. It contains flows that intercept and modify messages between service consumers (exports) and service providers (imports). Mediation modules can be deployed to the WebSphere Enterprise Server Bus or the WebSphere Process Server. .

Follow these instructions to create a mediation module:
  1. From the menu, select File > New > Project > Mediation Module to open the New Mediation Module wizard.
  2. Enter a name for Module name.
  3. You can keep the Use default selection for the location of the module or specify a location.
  4. Make a selection from the Target Runtime list.
  5. Make a selection for the Create mediation flow component check box.
  6. Click Next to open the Select Required Libraries wizard.
  7. Select the libraries that contain resources that the new mediation module will use. Click Finish. The mediation module is created for you, and the libraries you selected are added as dependencies. You can also add dependencies in the dependency editor after the mediation module is created. To open the dependency editor:
    1. Expand the mediation module in the Business Integration view.
    2. Double click Dependencies
When you create a mediation module, its assembly is automatically created for you.
