Deploying the module for testing

In IBM Integration Designer, you can deploy a module that includes an embedded adapter to the test environment and work with server tools that enable you to perform such tasks as editing server configurations, starting, and stopping servers and testing the module code for errors. The testing is generally performed on the interface operations of your components, which enables you to determine whether the components are correctly implemented and the references are correctly wired.

  1. Adding external software dependencies
    Dependent JARs have to be added to the libraries directory or packaged in the EAR.
  2. Generate and wiring a target component for testing inbound processing
    Before deploying to the test environment a module that includes an adapter for inbound processing, first generate and wire a target component. This target component serves as the destination to which the adapter sends events.
  3. Prepare to test outbound operations
    Before you can test your module's outbound processing with the IBM Integration Designer test client, you might need to modify some of your business objects.
  4. Adding the module to the server
    In IBM Integration Designer, you can add modules to one or more servers in the test environment.
  5. Testing the module for outbound processing using the test client
    Test the assembled module and adapter for outbound processing using the IBM Integration Designer integration test client.
