Defining Run Configurations for a Pipeline

Once a pipeline has been created and saved, right-click the pipeline project in the Project Explorer, select Run As from the context and then click Run Configurations. From the main menu, you can also select Run and then click Run Configurations.

The Run Configurations dialog opens, as shown in the following image.

The Run Configurations dialog has two views. The left pane provides a list of applications. The right pane provides a series of instructions. You can resize the width of either pane accordingly by clicking and dragging the vertical bar that separates each pane.

Perform the following steps to define a run configuration for a pipeline:

1. Right-click iWay Big Data Integrator Pipeline in the left pane of the Run Configurations dialog and select New from the context menu.

   Note: If an existing run configuration is available, you can right-click that instance and select Duplicate from the context menu. You can then modify only those parameter values that are required without having to configure all of the parameters.

   A new run/build configuration pane opens, as shown in the following image.

   
2. Enter a descriptive name for the new pipeline run configuration in the Name field. Avoid using dashes or slash characters in the name.
3. Click Browse to the right of the Pipeline field.

   The Select pipeline dialog opens, as shown in the following image.

   
4. Expand the main project node, the Pipelines folder, the subfolder that corresponds to your pipeline project (for example, pipe1.pipeline), and select the pipeline project (for example, pipe1.pipeline).
5. Click OK.
6. Click Browse to the right of the Deployment Build Target field.

   The Build Target Location dialog opens, as shown in the following image.

   
7. Expand the main project node, the Pipelines folder, and the subfolder that corresponds to your pipeline project (for example, pipe1.pipeline).
8. Click OK.
9. Select one of the following operation types:
   • Publish. Copy to the edge node.
   • Deploy. Copy to the edge node and run.

   An object is built or published when it will reside on the edge node and run through CRON jobs or deployment scripts. An object is deployed when it will interact with the console or produce interactive output.

10. Enter the following connection information:
    • Host Name
    • Port

      Note: Port 22 is the default for SSH, but is not the only port value that can be used.

    • User Name
    • Password

    The connection to the server will be secured through SSH.

11. In the Deployment Location field, enter the path to the iBDI provision location where the run time object will be deployed.
12. Click Apply to save the information that you specified.

    To clear all of the information that you specified in this dialog, click Revert.

13. Click Run to run the pipeline configuration.

    The Console pane opens and displays the results for this deployment.
