Creating servers in the test environment

If you chose to install the Process Server and WebSphere® Enterprise Service Bus test environment profiles when you installed IBM® Integration Designer, then you will already have default test environment servers. However, if you deleted one or both of these default servers or if you are working with a standalone installation of Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, you will need to create one or more test environment servers for testing your modules.

To create 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 anywhere in the view and select New > Server. The New Server wizard opens to the Define a New Server page.
3. In the Select the server type list box, select one of the following server types:
   • If you want to be able to deploy all types of modules (including mediation modules) to the server, select IBM Process Server. This enables you to run all business integration components that can be created in IBM Integration Designer, such as BPEL business processes, state machines, human tasks, transition tables, business rules, selectors, mediation flows, and other resources.
   • If you only want to be able to deploy mediation modules, you can select WebSphere ESB Server. This enables you to run mediation flows.
   Generally, if your module is a mediation module and you intend to eventually deploy it to a WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus production server, then WebSphere ESB Server is a good choice. However, if you intend to eventually deploy your mediation module to an IBM Business Process Manager production server, then you may want to select IBM Business Process Manager.
4. In the Server's host name field, ensure that the correct host name is selected for the server that you want to create. By default, the host name localhost (IP address 127.0.0.1) is automatically selected, which is the appropriate selection if you chose to install the test environment when you installed IBM Integration Designer. However, you can also type or select another fully-qualified DNS name or IP address if you chose to install standalone Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus on a different machine than IBM Integration Designer.
   Note: Only if you have installed a local test environment with IBM Business Monitor on WebSphere Application Server can you target a remote server with IBM Business Monitor running on WebSphere Application Server.
5. Click Next. The Server Settings page opens.
6. Edit the settings as required. You can obtain help information for any individual field or control by selecting a field or control and pressing F1.
7. Click Next again. The Add and Remove Projects page opens.
8. On the Add and Remove Projects page, select one or more modules to add to the server. Information about adding modules to a server is found in the topic "Adding modules to servers."
9. Click Finish. The new server is now displayed in the Servers view.
