Deployment Environment Patterns

Use this page to select a pattern that provides the topological characteristics of the deployment environment. This page contains descriptions of each of the supported patterns.

The list of patterns that display on the Deployment Environment Patterns page is dynamic. This list is activated by, and dependent on, the following environment conditions and configuration decisions:

On this page you must select one of the deployment environment patterns. Follow these tips regarding IBM-supplied topologies.
Single Cluster
This pattern combines the application deployment target, the messaging support and additional support functions into a single cluster.

This is the default pattern for a z/OS installation.

Supported feature combinations for this pattern include the following:
  • WebSphere® ESB / IBM® Business Process Manager
  • IBM Business Monitor
  • IBM Business Monitor + WebSphere ESB / IBM Business Process Manager
Remote Messaging
This pattern, which consists of 2 clusters, separates the cluster providing the messaging support from the cluster providing the application deployment target and additional support functions.

This is not a default pattern.

Supported feature combinations for this pattern include the following:
  • WebSphere ESB / IBM Business Process Manager
Note: IBM Business Monitor does not support this pattern.
Remote Messaging and Remote Support
This pattern, which consists of 3 clusters, separates the application deployment target cluster from the cluster providing the messaging infrastructure and support and the cluster providing additional support functions.

This is the default pattern for IBM Business Process Manager Advanced (including WebSphere ESB) and IBM Business Process Manager Standard.

Supported feature combinations for this pattern include the following:
  • WebSphere ESB, IBM Business Process Manager
Note: IBM Business Monitor does not support this pattern.
Remote Messaging, Support and Web
This pattern, which consists of 4 clusters, defines separately one cluster for application deployment target, one cluster for the messaging infrastructure and support, one cluster for support-type applications (such as Common Event Infrastructure and the common event collector, which collects events for the Business Process Choreographer Explorer function), and one cluster for web application deployment (such as Business Process Choreographer Explorer, Business Space, and Business Process Rules Manager).

This is the default pattern for IBM Business Monitor and for IBM Business Monitor + IBM Business Process Manager for Multiplatforms, and IBM Business Monitor + WebSphere ESB for Multiplatforms.

Supported feature combinations for this pattern include the following:
  • WebSphere ESB / IBM Business Process Manager
  • IBM Business Monitor
  • IBM Business Monitor + WebSphere ESB / IBM Business Process Manager
