Adding modules to test environment servers

Before you can test your modules on a test environment server, you need to add the modules to the server.

About this task

Throughout the course of your development activities, EAR projects are generated for your modules. It is these EAR projects that you actually add to the servers and run rather than the modules that they represent. However, in IBM® Integration Designer, business integration modules are the key resource and users are largely shielded from Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition resources like EAR projects. For this reason, the deployment documentation generically refers to adding, running, and removing modules on servers.

To add modules to servers:

1. In the Business Integration or Debug perspective, click the Servers tab to open the Servers view.
2. In the Servers view, right-click your server and select Add and Remove Projects. The Add and Remove Projects wizard opens. In the Available Projects list box, the EAR projects are displayed that correspond to your modules.
3. Complete one of the following steps:
   • If you want to add a single module to the server, then select the corresponding EAR project in the Available Projects list box and click Add. The EAR project is added to the Configured Projects list box.
   • If you want to add all modules to the server, then click Add All. All of the available EAR projects that correspond to your modules are added to the Configured Projects list box.
4. Click Finish. The selected EAR projects are added to the server.
