The page displays collaborative units, which contain the relationships of the various clusters and servers to provide functionality for a deployment environment. You can alter the composition of the unit by adding clusters and servers to the unit. A cluster or server can participate in multiple units.

The different tabs on this page show the deployment environment functions. The display shows the currently configured items with either a selected radio button or check box. To configure additional items, click the appropriate radio button or check box and then click Continue configuration which opens a wizard to complete the action.

Messaging

Displays the current messaging engine configuration for this deployment environment.

If Local is already selected for a cluster or server the selection indicates that server is hosting the messaging engine locally. Any cluster or server that does not have Local selected use that server as a remote messaging engine.

If you select Local for a cluster or server, the system configures that cluster or server to host the messaging engine locally when you click OK.

To delete a cluster or server, select the check box beside the name of the cluster or server and then click Remove Cluster or Server.

Common Event Infrastructure

Displays the current configuration of the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) server for this deployment environment.

If Server is already selected for a cluster or server the selection indicates that server is hosting the CEI server. The events infrastructure emitter factory Java™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name is set in the CEI configuration to point to the selected server. Any cluster or server that does not have Server selected use that server as a CEI server.

If you select Server for a cluster or server, the system configures that cluster or server to host the CEI server when you click OK.

To delete a cluster or server, select the check box beside the name of the cluster or server and then click Remove Cluster or Server.

Application Support

Displays the current configuration for the component types that can be deployed this deployment environment.

This tab displays which component types are configured for the clusters or servers. When a component type is selected, you can deploy modules of that type to the cluster or server. To configure a cluster or server to support specific types, click that type on each cluster or server to support that type and then click OK.

To delete a cluster or server, select the check box beside the name of the cluster or server and then click Remove Cluster or Server.

Important: Certain component types have dependencies on other types (for example, Service Component Architecture is required before you can select Business Process Rules Manager). You will be unable to select those component types until the prerequisite component type is selected for the cluster or server.

Component types supported

Both IBM Business Process Manager and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus support Service Component Architecture.

After you have selected Service Component Architecture, you will be able to select one of the following component types which are supported by IBM Business Process Manager:
  • Business Process Choreographer Container
  • Business Process Choreographer Explorer
    Note: This component type has no dependency on Service Component Architecture but on the Business Process Choreographer container.
  • Business Process Rules Manager
