Administer services using proxy gateways
Use the Proxy Gateway widget to administer proxy groups defined for a proxy gateway. A proxy gateway is a module that receives web service requests and forwards them to an endpoint defined in a proxy group.
Create a business space that contains the Proxy Gateway widget.
Proxy groups must be defined in the following places:
- In the proxy gateway module, using IBM Integration Designer.
- In the built-in configuration store, in WebSphere ESB or IBM Process Server. When you deploy a proxy gateway module to WebSphere ESB or IBM Process Server, any new proxy groups defined by the module are automatically created.
When you uninstall a proxy gateway module, the proxy groups defined by the module are not automatically deleted.
Proxy groups contain virtual services that you map to real service endpoints, using the Proxy Gateway widget.
Procedure
Log on to your business space and navigate to the page that contains the Proxy Gateway widget.
Results
Initially, the Proxy Gateway widget displays the following information:
- Proxy Group: A group to which you can add virtual services that you map to real service endpoints. You can use the icon after the Proxy Group heading to sort the entries in ascending (^) or descending (v) order.
- Proxy Gateway: A module that can forward web service requests to an endpoint defined in a proxy group. You can use the icon after the Proxy Gateway heading to sort the entries in ascending (^) or descending (v) order.
What to do next
