Deploying WebSphere DataPower maps

After you tested the DataPower maps in the Map Designer, you can deploy them from Map Designer to an WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance.

To deploy a DataPower map or maps:

  1. Configure the Map Designer deployment settings for DataPower maps using the DataPower preferences.
  2. From the Map Designer, deploy the DataPower map using one the following menu options:
    • In the Extender Navigator view, right-click the compiled DataPower (.dpa) map in the Map Executables folder, and select Deploy to DataPower.
    • In the Outline view or Composition view, right-click the executable DataPower map, and on the menu, click Deploy to DataPower.

    You can select multiple compiled and executable DataPower maps to deploy at the same time using the standard selection operations. Press Shift and click a range of maps, or press Ctrl and click individual maps; then right-click and select Deploy to DataPower.

    If you configured the XML Management Interface service in the Map Designer, after you click Deploy to DataPower to deploy the DataPower map from Map Designer to an WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance, you are prompted through a standard Certificate window to dynamically select the option to trust the certificate from the appliance, and add it to the certificate store.

  3. If the Overwrite file without asking checkbox in the XML Management Interface tab under Connectivity in the DataPower preferences pane is clear, that is, not selected, the Overwrite File window opens, and you can select one of several overwrite options for the deployment process.

The DataPower map or maps are deployed to an WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance.

If the XML Management Interface service detects an error, the Problem Occurred window opens. Click OK to close the window, or Details to expand the window and view the error message.
