If you have an IBM Process Center server in the Servers
view of IBM Integration Designer, you can connect to a process server
to quickly and easily create an IBM Process Server on Process Center
(also known as an online server) in the Servers view. A Process
Server on Process Center is required for the integration test client
to test integration modules in a process application or toolkit that
has been deployed to a connected Process Server. The server is also
required to display the status of the process application or toolkit
on the Process Server, such as whether the process application or
toolkit is deployed and started. The server can be a development server,
test server, staging server, or production server.
Before you begin
Before you can connect to a Process Server on Process Center,
you need to obtain the relevant connection information from your system
administrator, such as the administrative user name and password.
About this task
Complete the instructions in the following procedure to connect
to a Process Server on Process Center.
Procedure
- In the Servers view, right-click your Process Center server
and select Connect to a Process Server. The
New Server wizard opens.
- In the Servers list, select the
process server that you want to create in the workspace for the Process
Center. The list can display the names of one or more development,
test, staging or production process servers, but it only displays
the names of the process servers that are currently connected to the
Process Center that you specified on the previous page of the wizard.
- Click Next.
- Although the correct host name and ports are automatically
determined and set, you must specify the remaining connection settings
for the IBM Process Server by completing the following steps:
- Select the Security is enabled on this server check
box if you want to specify that the server has security enabled. (The
check box is selected by default.)
- In the User ID and Password fields,
specify the administrative user name and password that are used for
your IBM Process Server. (By default, the fields are pre-populated
with the user ID and password that are used to log into the IBM Process
Server.)
- Click Finish.
Results
The new Process Server on Process Center is displayed in the
Servers view. Any process application snapshots that reside in the
workspace and that are installed on the server are shown nested under
the server.
Unlike a Process Center server, publishing is not available
to a Process Server on Process Center because the snapshot must be
installed on a Process Server using the Process Center. Also, you
cannot make changes to a snapshot, which means that there is never
a need to publish.
