Deploying the flows

Use this information to deploy your message and control flows that you have already constructed.

Before you begin

Before you deploy the message flows on the integration server, ensure that the following tasks are completed.

About this task

Deploy message flow on the integration server.

Procedure

  1. Open Toolkit.
  2. In the Application Development view, right-click the application that is created for the message or control flow, and select Deploy.

    The Deploy wizard window loads.

  3. In the Deploy window, select the integration server that you want to deploy your message flow, and click Finish.

    The control flow application name is displayed under the selected integration server from Integration Nodes view.

    Note:
    • You can deploy your message flows from a non database host. For example, if you have your database on a primary host and your Toolkit is hosted on a remote server, you can continue to deploy your message flows. In App Connect for Manufacturing, message flows are able to run without being dependent to the database.
    • You can create the Client Items in the Toolkit and associate the source items from the data source. In App Connect for Manufacturing, the mapping tree is stored in the message flow file itself. You can deploy your message flows from any server. You can have a distributed environment where the database is on a primary host and the Toolkit on a remote server and continue to deploy the message flows. The message flows are able to run without database dependency.
    Note:

    A flow-related statistics message is displayed on the integration server console when an input node flow is deployed for all the subscribed items.

    These messages are saved as text files under the log subdirectory within the integration server directory. For example, the text file is saved at <integration server directory>/log/integration_server.<integration server directory>.events.txt

Results

https://ibmid.acrolinx.cloud/ Your solution resources are deployed.

One or more BAR files are generated automatically, and deployed to the integration server. You can find these BAR files in the GeneratedBarFiles folder in the Application Development view.
