IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher installation

Installing the Message Manager on the Trading Manager IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher machine (Windows 7, Windows 2008, or Windows XP platform) is also an alternative. It still requires connectivity between the client workstation of the individual administering the system and the server. This option also assumes the installation of the complete Design Studio environment on that administration client. It does not require the installation of the Design Studio components on the server. There are advantages and disadvantages to this installation.

An advantage of this installation is that it simplifies the sharing of Message Manager responsibilities due to centralized location of the source. It also eliminates the need for an extra copy step when building maps.

As a disadvantage, it may slow performance while running Design Studio clients due to network overhead. Another disadvantage is that standard drive mappings are required if multiple users are supported. For example, each client must map the server machine as Y.
