Deploying the module in a clustered environment
In IBM Integration Designer, you can deploy the IBM WebSphere Adapter for IBM i in a clustered environment.
To deploy the module in a clustered environment, use any of the following approaches.
- Deploying module embedded in the application
The adapter is deployed embedded in the application and specific to it. The adapter cannot be shared between multiple applications.- Deploying module at node level with embedded activation specification
The adapter is deployed at the node level, with the activation specification created during module creation. The adapter can be shared across multiple applications.- Deploying module at node level with JNDI activation specification
The adapter is deployed at the node level, and the application provides a JNDI reference to the activation specification. You must create the activation specification with the same JNDI name at the cluster scope from the Process Administrative Console. The adapter can be shared across multiple applications
