Install a mediation

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

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

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

In this task, we use the administrative 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.

Tasks

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

2. On the first Preparing for application install page, specify the full path name of our 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. The product does not change existing bindings.

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

4. Type the name of our 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 or a cluster where we want to install the modules 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 we are ready, click Finish to confirm the installation options.

8. Save changes to the master configuration.

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

What to do next

We can configure the properties for the mediation in the administrative console. See Configure a new mediation.
