Considerations

There are three options in the Run Configurations dialog that you must consider when creating your runtime configuration.

The following two options are available for single action operations (for example, Sqoop, Flume, or Mapping):

• iWay Big Data Integrator Deploy
• iWay Big Data Integrator Publish

The following option is only available for Pipelines:

• iWay Big Data Integrator Pipeline

When you right-click iWay Big Data Integrator Pipeline in the Run Configurations dialog, you can select Deploy or Publish from the context menu that is displayed.

All of these options securely create the runtime configuration on the selected Edge node and copy all of the files that are required to run the selected iBDI process.

The following guidelines must be considered when choosing a Deploy or Publish option:

• Deploy. Used for small, interactive operations where the amount of data is not excessive. The trace log is written directly in the Console tab of the iBDI workspace area.
• Publish. Used for jobs that will be configured as a service on the Edge node, or for processes that run streams or listen for events (for example, Flume or Kafka).

If an event listener is attempted to run in Deploy mode, then it will try to start a process on the local client JVM in disconnected mode. This process can only be stopped by closing the iBDI client workbench, which stops the local JVM.
