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 Integration Designer supports the following runtime environments:

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.

If you want to author artifacts in IBM Integration Designer and deploy them to an IBM Process Server runtime environment, the major versions of the two products must match.

You can deploy the following artifacts to IBM Process Server:
  • Process applications and toolkits.
  • Modules, mediation modules and libraries
  • Business Objects
  • Interfaces and interface maps
  • Data maps: Business object maps, Relationships and XML maps.
  • Customized visual snippets
  • BPEL Processes
  • Mediation flows
  • Human tasks
  • State machines
  • Business rules
  • Business Vocabularies
  • Business Calendar
  • Java Components
  • Selectors
  • Enterprise Access artifacts and adapters

You can deploy the following artifacts to WebSphere DataPower Appliance:
  • DataPower libraries
  • Business Objects
  • Interfaces
  • XML maps
