You can download and install existing patterns from the OT4I GitHub Pattern Repository by using the IBM® Integration Toolkit.
About this task
From the Patterns Explorer in the IBM Integration Toolkit, complete the following steps to download
and install a pattern:
Procedure
-
Right-click OT4I GitHub Pattern Repository under
Pattern Repositories, and click
Connect to display the categories of the patterns
that are available in the repository.
-
Expand a pattern category to list the patterns that are available in that
category.
Each pattern name in the list is appended with [Not
Installed] if the pattern is not installed in the IBM Integration Toolkit, or [Installed]
if the pattern is already installed.
-
Right-click the pattern that you want to download and click Download
and Install.
This menu option is available only if the pattern is not already
installed.
-
When the security warning is displayed, click OK.
The pattern is downloaded and installed, the pattern name in the list is
appended with [Installed], and the pattern is listed
under Patterns in the Patterns
Explorer.
- Optional:
If you want to uninstall and remove a pattern from the IBM Integration Toolkit, right-click the pattern name in and click Uninstall.
The pattern is uninstalled and removed from the list of patterns under
Patterns, and the pattern name in the repository is
appended with
[Not Installed].
Note: Uninstalling a
pattern from the IBM Integration Toolkit does not affect
any instances that are created from the pattern.
What to do next
Read the pattern documentation and create a pattern instance to explore the pattern
functionality; see Using patternsNote: From the Patterns
Explorer you also have access to the Experimental OT4I
GitHub Pattern Repository. The Experimental OT4I GitHub
Pattern Repository contains patterns that are available for testing
but are not fully-supported.
