Getting started with integration runtime management

Get started with integration runtime management, your command center for orchestrating integrations across cloud and on-premises environments. You can securely deploy, monitor, and scale runtimes wherever your business needs them.

Before you begin

You must have a subscription to the specific capability for which you want to manage runtimes. For example, to work with App Connect runtimes, you need a subscription to the App Connect capability. For more information, see Administering environments and capabilities.
You must have basic knowledge about the capability that you intend to use with runtimes. For example, if you want to use an edge runtime, then you must know how to work with webMethods Integration.

About this task

The following table outlines how the service-specific roles and subscription-specific roles correspond to the capability-specific roles within Integration runtime management.

Table 1. Integration runtime management user roles

Administrator	Integration Admin Service Admin Service Owner	All actions that are performed on assets within an Integration Runtime Management instance and the subscribed capability in the current environment.
User	Integration User Service User	Non administrator actions that are performed on assets within an Integration runtime management instance and the subscribed capability in the current environment.

The integration runtime management capability is available in three tiers. By default, the Standalone tier is provisioned. To access other runtime capabilities, you can subscribe to the appropriate tier. The following table outlines the capabilities available in each tier.

webMethods Integration Server	Yes	Yes	Yes
App Connect	Available upon subscription	Available upon subscription	Available upon subscription
webMethods Integration	No	No	Available upon subscription

Procedure

Register runtimes to establish connectivity between your capability and the integration runtime management control plane. For more information, see the following topics based on your subscriptions.
Manage runtimes to configure system settings, deploy integration packages, and control service runs. For more information, see the following topics based on your subscriptions.
Monitor runtimes to keep track of runtime health, performance, and service activity through the dashboard. For more information, see the following topics based on your subscriptions.
