Adding and managing capabilities

How to add, review and remove the capabilities in your IBM® webMethods Hybrid Integration deployment.

• Adding capabilities
  1. In the Add capabilities section on the home page, explore the capabilities that are available.

     A suggested set of capabilities for your environment is displayed. Set Show all to on to see the full set of capabilities. Capabilities are shown with a brief description, click Learn more to go the documentation for that capability.

  2. Click Add next to the capability that you want.

     A confirmation dialog is displayed, which includes information about the charge for the capability.

     Note: Each capability includes a 7-day no charge exploration period the first time that it's enabled in a subscription. For more information about the exploration period, see Exploration period.
  3. Click Add capability to start the provisioning.
     Provisioning time varies by capability and can take up to 6 hours. If provisioning takes longer, contact IBM Support. After the capability is provisioned, it's displayed in the My capabilities section on the home page and in the webMethods Hybrid Integration main menu. Your associated role for the capability is shown on its tile on the home page. If you have multiple roles, select the + indicator to view the full list.

     Tip: As you add capabilities to your environment, the Key tasks section on the home page updates to show tasks for each capability added.
  4. To start using the capability, click the arrow on its tile or its menu item.
• Managing capabilities
  1. To review the capabilities in your environment, click Manage capabilities in the Key tasks section or in the My capabilities section on the home page.

     The Capabilities tab displays tiles for all provisioned capabilities in that environment. The tiles indicate when a specific capability was provisioned and its base charge. If a capability includes an explore period, the tile also shows how many days are left to explore the capability before charges are applied. For more information, see Exploration period. You can add more capabilities from the Additional capabilities available section, by clicking Add on the capability tile.

  2. To delete a capability, click Remove on the capability tile.

     Deletion time varies by capability and can take up to 6 hours. If deletion takes longer, contact IBM Support.

     If the capability is outside of the exploration period, you can select whether to remove the capability immediately, or schedule it to be removed at the end of the current billing period.
     Attention: When you remove a capability from an environment, all data that's associated with that capability is permanently deleted. To retain your data, you must export the assets before you remove the capability. Refer to the capability documentation for information about exporting assets.
