Overview

This article provides an introduction of webMethods Cloud Container, Pre-Requisites for deploying Integrations to Cloud Container instances. Additionally, this document provides information about different Landscape Models available in Cloud Container.

Introduction

webMethods Cloud Container unlocks the power of API-led and DevOps-led integration, enabling organizations to build, test, connect and deploy their enterprise-scale software and applications quickly and automatically, simplifying the process of deploying integrations to the cloud.

Professional developers can deploy from within Software AG Designer, a full featured Eclipse-based IDE, directly to the Software AG Cloud. Release new products and services to the cloud with greater speed and flexibility to gain competitive advantages.

Pre-Requisites:

  1. 10.3 or higher On-Premise Setup with Integration Server, Universal Messaging, Designer, Asset Build Environment, SPM and Command Central with Latest fixes.
  2. Command Central, SPM, Integration Server, Universal Messaging and Designer should be running as an Administrator.
  3. A running Solution on Cloud Container with the any landscapes described below in this article.

How to Configure your Designer with Cloud Container in order to deploy Integrations:

  1. Provide Cloud Container Tenant details In Designer.

Under Windows->Preferences->Software AG -> Integration Cloud

Note: Integration Cloud is old name of Cloud Container. Which will be changed in Designer in upcoming Releases.

  2. From Landscape Navigator: Or else you can use Landscape Navigator view to deploy Configurations.
  3. You Need to choose your solution subsequently i.e. where you want to deploy.

Landscape Models

When a user login into webMethods Cloud Container and try to create a solution, first question that comes to his mind is which Landscape Model should be used for his solution. This document explains various criteria’s/situations via which one can easily decide on the Landscape.

Types of Landscape Models

  • Synchronous API Led Integration- Customers can use Basic Integration Template with One Integration server Cluster (Optional - Stateful or Stateless) for Synchronous API Led Integration use cases.

      

     

  • Service Bus- Customers can use ESB template with One Integration server (Cluster), One Universal Messaging Server for both Synchronous and Asynchronous use cases.

         

       

  • Federated Bus Integration- Customers can use Federated Bus template with Two Integration servers (Clusters), One Universal Messaging Server for Federated Integrations i.e. Two different codebases running on two Integration Servers (clusters) connected via UM.
