The runtime environments for IBM Integration Designer
You can use IBM® Integration Designer to create applications that can be run in IBM Process Server or WebSphere DataPower Appliance.
You can enable capabilities to filter your development environment so that only the functions that are applicable to your runtime environment are enabled. For more information on setting capabilities, see the Enabling tool capabilities topic under related tasks.
IBM Process Server
IBM Process Server is the runtime environment for business process applications and toolkits, whether they are developed using IBM Integration Designer or IBM Business Process Manager. Process applications and toolkits that are stored in the IBM Process Center repository are deployed to IBM Process Server.
IBM Process Server is also the runtime environment for modules and mediation modules that are developed in IBM Integration Designer, as well as modules and mediation modules that were developed for deployment to the WebSphere® Process Server. The functionality of WebSphere Process Server is incorporated into IBM Process Server.
