Web services gateway - Complete the installation

This task assumes that, when you installed WAS Network Deployment. If you did this, then all the files that are needed to run a Web services gateway were copied into directories under WebSphere_DeployMgr_root, where WebSphere_DeployMgr_root is the Deployment Manager root directory (by default /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/ND).

This table lists the Web services gateway files, and the locations into which they are placed by the install. The Location column shows the subdirectory under WebSphere_DeployMgr_root. For example, if you installed WAS onto an iSeries machine and installed the Network Deployment option, then the location of the installableApps directory is /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/ND/installableApps

Various install scripts Installation of the Web services gateway /WSGW/scripts/install
Authorization scripts Generation of authorization beans for Web service operation-level security /WSGW/scripts/auth

(Version 5.0.2 or later) If you want to run a gateway cluster (for example to guarantee high availability) create the cluster before you install the gateway on any machine in the cluster.

To complete the gateway installation, you have two choices:

Install the gateway into a deployment manager cell

Install the gateway into a stand-alone application server

For production use you probably want to install the gateway into one or more nodes of a deployment manager cell, but for development or test purposes you might find it useful to install the gateway into a stand-alone application server (an application server that is not part of a deployment manager cell).
