Configuring integration nodes
Create and configure the integration node that you want on the operating system of your choice.
Before you begin
- Your user ID has the correct authorizations to perform the task. The authorizations are defined in Security requirements for administrative tasks.
On Windows:
you have created a user ID to be used as the service user ID. You
specify this ID when you create the integration node; it is used to run the
integration node.For more information about user ID authorization and creation, refer to Planning for security.
- You have initialized the command environment on distributed systems; see Setting up a command environment.
About this task
To set up an environment for application development on Linux® or Windows, see Configuring integration nodes for development environments. If you are creating integration nodes for test and production environments, use the tasks included in this section.
When you have created your physical components, you can administer your test and production environments programmatically by using the IBM Integration API.
This collection of tasks uses specific resource names and user IDs. These names are examples only; you can use your own names. Follow existing naming conventions for WebSphere® MQ and other resources.
Procedure
- Create an integration node by following in the instructions in Creating an integration node.
- Verify that the integration node is created by following the instructions in Verifying an integration node.
- (optional) Change your integration node configuration to use one or more of the advanced options available by following the instructions in Advanced configuration.
What to do next
Continue your integration node configuration tasks. For day to day administration of your integration nodes and associated resources, see Administering integration nodes and associated resources.
