Deployment is the process of transferring the development resources for an integration solution to the runtime environment. The development resources are deployed to an integration server on an integration node. To deploy an integration solution to a production environment, you can package your development resources into a single file for transfer to the production environment.
To develop an integration solution, you might need to create a number of resources such as message flows, subflows, message models, maps, Java™ code, and ESQL files.
Before you deploy your solution to a production environment, you can customize the BAR file to configure the solution for any differences between the development environment and the production environment. For example, you might specify different data source names or queue names; see Editing configurable properties.
You can also use operational policies to control certain aspects of message flow and message flow node behavior at run time. For more information, see Operational policy.
When your BAR file is configured, and any operational policies are defined, you can deploy your BAR file to a production environment; see Deploying solutions.
