Installation paths for the managed deployment environment for WebSphere Business Modeler

If you are using WebSphere® Business Modeler to create and deploy monitor models for testing purposes, you must set up a managed deployment environment. You can create the managed deployment environment on the same system where you installed WebSphere Business Modeler or on a different server that is shared by multiple WebSphere Business Modeler users.

Before you create the managed deployment environment, verify you have at least 3GB of memory on the system where you are creating the managed deployment environment.

Single WebSphere Business Modeler user using one managed deployment environment

If you are creating the managed deployment environment on the same system where you installed WebSphere Business Modeler, use the following high-level path to help you set up the environment.

Before beginning this installation path, ensure that you installed the following products on a single workstation:
  • WebSphere Business Modeler 7.0
  • Integration Designer 7.5.1

When you installed Integration Designer, ensure that you selected the option to install the Process Server test environment.

To install WebSphere Business Modeler for a single user using one managed deployment environment:
  1. Install Business Monitor development toolkit into the existing Integration Designer environment.
  2. Create a configuration XML file that contains the connection information for the IBM® Business Monitor server and Business Space. If you already have a configuration XML file from your Integration Designer installation, you can add the IBM Business Monitor information as an additional server component. See "Setting up a server configuration file" in the related tasks.
  3. Configure WebSphere Business Modeler to use the newly installed managed deployment environment.

Multiple WebSphere Business Modeler users using one managed deployment environment

If you are creating the managed deployment environment on a different system than where you installed WebSphere Business Modeler or for multiple WebSphere Business Modeler users to access, use the following high-level path to help you set up the environment.

Before beginning this installation path, ensure that you installed the following products on a single workstation:
  • WebSphere Business Modeler 7.0
  • Process Server 7.5.1 with a stand-alone profile
To install WebSphere Business Modeler for multiple users using one managed deployment environment:
  1. Using the IBM Business Monitor product launchpad, install IBM Business Monitor into the existing Process Server environment. Do not create a profile. You will augment the existing Process Server stand-alone profile.
  2. Using the Profile Management Tool, augment the existing Process Server profile with the IBM Business Monitor template. If you did not configure Business Space during the initial profile creation, you should configure Business Space during the profile augmentation.
  3. Using the administrative console, modify the server to run in development mode. Navigate to Servers > Server types > WebSphere application servers, and click server_name. On the Configuration tab, select the Run in development mode check box, and click Apply and save your changes to the configuration.
  4. Create a configuration XML file that contains the connection information for the IBM Business Monitor server and Business Space. If you already have a configuration XML file from your Process Server installation, you can add the IBM Business Monitor information as an additional server component.
  5. Configure WebSphere Business Modeler to use the newly installed managed deployment environment.
