Create a solution

You must first create a solution in IBM webMethods Cloud Container before deploying the on-premises assets and configurations. After you launch IBM webMethods Cloud Container, click Solutions > Solution List. The Solution List page displays the solutions created in IBM webMethods Cloud Container.

Note: You must have the required permissions under Settings > Access Profiles > Administrative Permissions > Functional Controls > Solution to create, or delete Solutions. Further, you cannot modify the solution name after it is created.

When you create a solution from the predefined landscape templates, you can set the number of CPU core to 1, 2, and 4 and Memory to 2, 4, 6, 8, and 16 in GB. Note that the allocated configurations (CPU and Memory) of Integration Server node is shared by processes other than Integration Server runtime as well. For example, if a user is configuring 4 GB memory when creating a solution using the landscape template with Integration Server connected to Universal Messaging, then an approximate of 3.6 GB configurations is used for Integration Server and the rest would be shared by other processes.

To create a solution:

  1. Log in to IBM webMethods Cloud Container.

  2. Click Solutions > Solution List. The Solution List page appears.

  3. From the Solution List page, click Create New Solution to create a solution. Solutions created using a trial account are deactivated daily by UTC +01:00 AM. After you log in, you need to reactivate the solutions. All assets will be available after a short delay.

  4. Select the landscape model that best represents your environment. The supported landscapes are:

    (a) webMethods Integration Server with a BigMemory Max server

    (b) webMethods Integration Server with Universal Messaging and a BigMemory Max server

    (c) webMethods Integration Servers with Universal Messaging, and a BigMemory Max stripe

    (d) Universal Messaging

  5. Click OK.

    In the New Solution page, fill in the solution Name, the solution Description, the name of the webMethods Integration Server and Universal Messaging instances, number of CPU Cores, and Memory characteristics of the hardware to support each service in the solution landscape. You can also select the webMethods Integration Server and Universal Messaging icons to highlight the sections in the New Solution page. BigMemory Max is available only when webMethods Integration Server runs in a stateful clustered mode.
