On this page you must select one of the deployment environment patterns, each of which is described on the page.
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 WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Business Services Fabric for Multiplatforms.

Supported feature combinations for this pattern include the following:
  • WebSphere ESB, WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Business Services Fabric
Note: WebSphere Business Monitor does not support this pattern.
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, WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Business Services Fabric
Note: WebSphere Business Monitor does not support this pattern.
Single Cluster
This pattern combines the application deployment target, the messaging support and additional support functions into a single server or cluster.

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

Supported feature combinations for this pattern include the following:
  • WebSphere ESB / WebSphere Process Server / WebSphere Business Services Fabric
  • WebSphere Business Monitor
  • WebSphere Business Monitor + WebSphere ESB / WebSphere Process Server / WebSphere Business Services Fabric
Remote Messaging, Support and Web
This pattern, which consists of 4 clusters, defines separately one cluster for application deployment target, one remote cluster for the messaging infrastructure and support, one remote 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 Rules Manager).

This is the default pattern for WebSphere Business Monitor and for WebSphere Business Monitor + WebSphere Process Server for Multiplatforms, WebSphere Business Monitor + WebSphere ESB for Multiplatforms and WebSphere Business Monitor + Business Services Fabric for Multiplatforms.

Supported feature combinations for this pattern include the following:
  • WebSphere Business Monitor
  • WebSphere Process Server
  • WebSphere Business Monitor + WebSphere ESB / WebSphere Process Server / WebSphere Business Services Fabric
