Setting up a developer toolkit environment

Before you create custom extensions for your IBM® Sterling Order Management System, set up your developer toolkit environment for creating and testing extensions for your service applications.

To create the developer toolkit environment on your local workstation, download the IBM Sterling Order Management System Developer Toolkit that includes the components that you need for the setup. You must use the downloaded compressed file to set up a developer toolkit environment on your local workstation.Your developer toolkit environment includes applications, application servers, databases, and toolkit that you use to develop code for your customizations. The developer toolkit environment provides you with a one-to-one mapping between your local workstation contents for your IBM Sterling Order Management System and your IBM Cloud environment contents. Before you package and deploy your extensions into your IBM Sterling Order Management System environments, you can use the developer toolkit environment to create and test custom extensions for your applications.

You or your business partners are responsible for planning, creating, owning, and connecting this environment with your source code repository.

IBM Sterling Order Management System offers containerized and file-based modes to set up a developer toolkit environment.
