Limitations of the module deployment editor

From time to time, you may encounter some limitations in using the module deployment editor.

A known limitation is:

This limitation is discussed in the following section.


Deployment side file must be manually updated after any binding changes

In this release of IBM Integration Designer, the module deployment editor enables a user to configure WS-Security deployment options on web service exports and imports. The data associated with the configured deployment options is stored in a deployment side file named ibm-deploy.scaj2ee, which is located in the root of the SCA module in the Physical Resources view of the Business Integration perspective.

For example, MyModule/ibm-deploy.scaj2ee. The deployment side file can contain binding information, such as the port name and address of web service imports and the port name and service name of web service exports.

If the binding information of a web service import or export is changed, then the copy of this binding data in the deployment side file will be invalidated.

For example, if you manually change the address of a web service import in the assembly diagram of the associated module, the binding data in the deployment side file will not reflect the new address of the web service import.

To ensure that the deployment side file reflects any binding changes to your web service imports or exports, you must open the deployment side file in a text editor and then manually update the deployment information to reflect the changes to the binding information.
