Install a mediation

We can install an enterprise application (EAR file) containing a mediation on a server.

• You have an EAR file that we can deploy into WebSphere Application Server (base). The EAR file contains a mediation handler enterprise bean. We can use the tooling provided with IBM Rational Application Developer to assemble EAR files.

• For guidance on selecting the target application server for the mediation, see Mediation application installation.

In this task, we use the dmgr console to install a mediation application into WAS (base). For additional information about installing enterprise applications, see Install enterprise application files with the console. For information about installing a secure mediation handler, see Deploy secured applications.

1. Click Applications -> New Application -> New Enterprise Application.

2. On the first Preparing for application install page, specify the full path name of your EAR file, and click Next.

3. On the second Preparing for application install page, choose to generate default bindings.

   1. Expand Choose to generate default bindings and mappings.

   2. Select Generate default bindings. Using the default bindings causes any incomplete bindings in the application to be completed with default values. WAS v8.5 does not change existing bindings.

   3. Click Next. The Select Installation options page is displayed.

4. Type the name of your EAR file in the Application name field, if it not already specified, and click Next. The Map modules to servers page is displayed.

5. Select the target application server where to install the modules that are contained in the application, and click Next.

6. Optional: If the panel Deploy enterprise beans is displayed, clickApply, and click Next.
7. Review the summary of the installation options we have chosen:

   1. To make changes, click Previous to return to the appropriate page.

   2. When you are ready, click Finish to confirm your installation options.

8. Save your changes to the master configuration.
   

Results

Your mediation application is installed on your chosen server or cluster.

We can configure the properties for the mediation in the dmgr console. For more information, see Configure a new mediation.
