Deployment configurations for subflows created as .msgflow files

You have different deployment configurations, that is combinations of resources that are supported in IBM® Integration Bus run time, when you deploy applications, integration services, and independent resources into the runtime environment. Deployment configurations depend on the configuration choices you make when you build a BAR file and how you have designed your message flow and subflows.

The following table summarizes the different combinations of resources that are supported in IBM Integration Bus and later versions when you deploy independent resources into the run time and the Compile and in-line resources option to build a BAR file is selected:

Table 1. Summary of supported deployment configurations for independent resources in IBM Integration Bus and later versions where the Compile and in-line resources option to build a BAR file is selected
Configurations when the option Compile and in-line resources is selected. (These configurations are available for compatibility with previous releases of IBM Integration Bus.) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The following table summarizes the different combinations of resources that are supported in IBM Integration Bus and later versions when you deploy independent resources into the run time and the Compile and in-line resources option to build a BAR file is not selected:
