SIBWS - Completing the installation

Use this topic to install and configure, in an application server or cluster, the service integration bus Web services enablement (SIBWS) applications. These applications are copied to your file system by the WebSphere Application Server installation program.

Plan your SIBWS installation to determine, for each server or cluster, which subset of the applications to install.

When you install WebSphere Application Server , the installation program does not install the SIBWS and associated applications. When you run the installation program, the files that are required for running the SIBWS are copied into your file system under install_root, where install_root is the root directory for the installation of IBM WebSphere Application Server.

For a list of the SIBWS files and their locations, see SIBWS installation files and locations.

You finish the SIBWS installation by using the wsadmin scripting client to run Jacl scripts. The Jacl scripts take different parameters, depending upon which application you are installing, and whether you are installing to a cluster or to a standalone server (that is, a server that is not part of a cluster).

When you have determined the roles for a given server or cluster, you run the installSdoRepository.jacl script to create and install the Service Data Objects (SDO) repository. Then (depending upon the chosen roles) you might also run the sibwsInstall.jacl script several times to install the service integration technologies resource adapter, the SIBWS application, and one or more endpoint listener applications. You repeat this installation process for every standalone server or cluster that is to play one or more SIBWS roles. When you install an application to a cluster, the Jacl script installs the application, synchronizes the affected nodes and attempts to start the application on each server in the cluster. You should check that the applications are running as expected. The applications only start on servers that are running. In all cases, the script tries to install and run the application. If you run the script and it fails to complete, fix the problem then re-run the script. Warnings are displayed, indicating that certain actions are already completed (for example "duplicate applications"), but the script still completes.

As part of the SIBWS installation process, you also configure two aspects of security: After you complete the SIBWS installation, you can take a number of additional steps to further secure the SIBWS. These steps are described in Securing Web services through service integration technologies.

Complete the following steps for every standalone server or cluster on which you want to install each SIBWS application:

  1. Select or create a service integration bus.
  2. Select or add a server or server cluster as a member of the bus.

    When you add a member to a bus, a messaging engine for the member is created automatically.

  3. Use the installSdoRepository.jacl script to create and install the SDO repository.

    The SIBWS uses an SDO repository for storing and serving WSDL definitions.

  4. Use the sibwsInstall.jacl script to install the service integration technologies resource adapter.

    The SIBWS uses the resource adapter to invoke Web services at outbound ports.

  5. Use the sibwsInstall.jacl script to install the SIBWS application and (optionally) one or more endpoint listener applications.

    If you want to create inbound services, install at least one endpoint listener.

  6. Optional: If WebSphere Application Server global security is enabled, and you are working with secure service integration buses, configure the SIBWS to work in a secure bus.

    This topic describes the minimum security configuration that is required forthe SIBWS to work in a secure service integration bus.

You are now ready to administer the SIBWS core resources.
