The IBM® SOA
Policy Gateway Pattern provides a
means to quickly and reliably provision an environment for governing service definitions and
policies, and enforcing those policies. Deployment of the pattern starts with the governance master,
followed by the runtime pattern.
Preparing and deploying the IBM SOA
Policy Gateway Pattern
Deploy the governance master pattern:
- Deploy a SOA Policy Gateway Governance
Master pattern. Wait
for the deployment to complete before deploying runtime patterns. For more information, see Deploying the governance master pattern.
Deploy the runtime patterns:
- Decide whether a basic runtime pattern with a standalone environment, or an advanced runtime
pattern with a clustered environment is needed.
- Determine how many DataPower instances or appliances your runtime patterns
require.
Patterns that include DataPower have two DataPower instances by default. You can
configure up to 10 DataPower instances. For more information, see Adding DataPower instances to a pattern.
Patterns with external DataPower can be configured to
work with up to 10 DataPower appliances. See Deploying the Basic and Advanced External DataPower Patterns.
Note: Extra DataPower instances and appliances
cannot be added after this configuration is completed.
- Configure the runtime pattern with the governance master pattern information. For more
information, see SOA Policy Gateway Governance Master deployment information. You
can omit governance master pattern information to deploy a standalone system, if required (although
this will show an error on deployment, the error can be ignored).
- Specify whether the runtime system is staging or production.
- Deploy your pattern. For more information, see Deploying an advanced runtime pattern or Deploying a basic runtime pattern.
- Wait until fully deployed before you deploy another runtime.
