iWay Integration Applications (iIAs) provide an automated, scriptable, deployment toolset that enables you to build and deploy integration solutions to development, test, and production environments. iIA is an application format that can contain multiple channels and services as well as custom iWay Functional Language (iFL) functions, services (agents) and other dependencies. iWay Integration Tools (iIT), iSM Administration Console, and deployment scripts will use iIAs as containers for pre-built channels and services. iIAs can be source managed and shared among different operational environments.
Various operational environments (such as development, test, or production) are represented by specific server Templates. Templates contain specific environment settings (for example, email addresses, database connection parameters, and so on) in Special Registers (SREGs) or Providers.
Once it is located an iWay server, an iIA can be deployed by using a Template.
iIAs represent an integration solution with a dedicated runtime environment. iIAs can be deployed, started, stopped, and deleted without affecting other iIAs.
iIAs allows you to:
