Before you begin
If you do not have
IBM Integration
Bus on premises, you can download
IBM Integration
Bus for Developers from
Get started with IBM Integration
Bus for Developers. You can use
IBM Integration
Bus for Developers without charge in all development and unit test scenarios.
About this task
You deploy integrations to IBM Integration
Bus on Cloud by uploading BAR files. You create those BAR files in IBM Integration
Bus Version 10.0.0.2 or later on premises.
The BAR file must contain message flows in one or more of the following container projects:
- Applications
- Applications that reference shared libraries
- Applications that include static libraries
- Integration services
- REST APIs
BAR files must be self-contained, and you cannot use standalone static libraries or message flows in an integration. For more details about the resources and message flow nodes that you can include in your BAR files, see
Supported resources in BAR files.
Procedure
To create a BAR file in IBM Integration
Bus Version 10.0.0.2 or later on premises, complete the following steps.
- Develop your integration solution in the on-premises IBM Integration
Toolkit by creating message flows and the resources that they require.
For more information, see Developing integration solutions in the IBM Integration
Bus product documentation.
- Package your integration solution resources into a BAR file by using one of the following methods:
- Create a BAR file in the IBM Integration
Toolkit.
- Create a BAR file by using the mqsicreatebar command.
- Create a BAR file by using the mqsipackagebar command.
For more information about these methods, see Creating a BAR file in the IBM Integration
Bus product documentation.
Results
A BAR file is created in your
IBM Integration
Bus workspace with a file extension of
.bar.
What to do next
To deploy your BAR file to the cloud, follow the instructions in
Running integrations in the cloud.
